Philosophy of Care
I am a Social Worker Associate Advanced License LSWAA/MSW and licensed to work with individuals, couples and families. My theoretical orientation is client-centered, psychodynamic, strength-based, and rooted in cultural humility. I take an integrative approach and work to provide each client with tailored interventions to honor their voice and preferences.
