I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker and I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy with 7 years of professional work experience. I attended Saint Leo University and gained my Master of Social Work Advanced Clinical Practice degree. I gained most of my experience and knowledge working in the community mental health setting with diverse populations. I have a passion for helping others improve their lives and increase their overall well-being. I started my career working with children and adolescents and then expanded to adult mental health and substance use disorders. I have held many positions in my career which has allowed for career growth. I started as a front-line provider and then proceeded to become a team lead, program director, and vice president while working at a large community mental health agency. The experience I have gained throughout my career has equipped me with the needed tools to assist individuals and families in progressive healing.
