While working for an agency several years ago, one of my colleagues had her caseload of clients increased substantially. When asked how she would manage her situation, she stated “I love meeting new people.” That philosophy is one that I also share. Working together and along side individuals is very important to me in a therapeutic relationship. I’ve been a resident of Pinellas County for 33 years now and have had experience as a social worker for over 30 years. I earned my Master’s Degree in Social work at USF. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I’m also credential as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor.

I am the person who is focused on creative problem solving. In my counseling I tend to be more directive with the use of action methods. I believe my job is to help you prioritize concerns, identify possible solutions, and facilitate change. Originally I was involved with the fine arts; I worked in medicine and danced in local modern dance companies. I have two Master of Arts degrees: therapeutic Expressive Arts and Professional Mental Health Counseling. I have extensive experience as a crisis and addictions counselor.
