I have a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Tampa College and a Master of Social Work from Alabama A&M University. I am certified as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with my Private Independent Practice Certification in Social Case Work and Clinical Practice. The first 17 years of my social work career was spent working in the child welfare system. Much of my work centered around working with youth in the Independent Living Program (ILP). Working with this population was challenging but rewarding. The next 5 years have been spent working with the Behavioral Health patients in a hospital setting. Here, my focus has been the geriatric population suffering from major neurocognitive disorder. In this position, I have also been afforded the opportunity to advise social work students and provide clinical supervision to Master level social workers. It is my sincere hope that my years of experience will allow me the chance to provide sound, competent and genuine counseling services to the community in need.
