I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have many years of experience serving a variety of populations which include older adults, adolescents, children and families in the community. I have had several years of experience working with individuals experiencing mental health and substance abuse crises, and have worked in an inpatient psychiatric setting working with a diverse population from adolescents to older adults with a variety of mental health needs. I graduated from the University of Tennessee Chattanooga in 2003 with a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work, and then in 2009 with a Masters Degree in Education, and I graduated in 2012 with a Masters Degree in Social Work from Southern Adventist University. I consider myself to be an eclectic therapist, and utilize many different therapeutic modalities that meet the needs of the clients that I serve. My goal is empower others to live the best life that they choose to live, and to provide them with tools they can use for life
