What I'm looking for
I’m an LCSW Social Worker with 8+ years of commitment to creating lasting change.

I lead group sessions, provide clinical supervision to para professionals and clinical team members, and ensure compliance with licensing agencies, including oversight of clinical accreditations with CARF and ASAM certifications. Previously, as a CSW in outpatient services, I delivered individual therapy, treatment planning, and crisis intervention for both mental health and substance abuse populations, including contracted foster-care youth services.
