"Look Beneath The Surface and discuss matters of the heart!"
I am an Air Force Veteran with over 15 years of experience in mental health. I served as a mental health tech both in the military and as a government contractor which lead me to obtaining a Masters Degree in Social Work. I've been a professional Social Worker since 2016 and totally love what I do.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I use a person in environment perspective as well as assist clients in understanding the different systems/ factors that influence their mental health.
