As the inaugural social Worker in the agency, I built the social work department and continue to develop best practices to assist clients with needs related to evictions and voucher terminations. I bring clinical expertise to work with clients in processing their experiences and understanding hoarding. I provide training on trauma informed care, self-care, and crisis response to other staff members. I write grants for and manage a fund to assist with non-litigation related client needs.
