Accepting new patients

I got into the social work field because I love helping others and advocating for those who cannot advocate for themselves, especially children. To help others see themselves in the best possible way is what every individual deserves. In the face of adversity, I want them to know that someone was there for them and someone genuinely cared. 

Inspired by mentors like my pastor, I entered social work to be there for others and provide support. I want my patients to know that their lives matter despite the challenges that they may face.

I support my patients by teaching them the proper ways to cope and navigate difficult situations so they can be independent individuals one day while also knowing that if they need me, I will always be around.
