I believe in the power of strong individuals to make a community and the duty each person has to use their skills to build these spaces. I would not be where I am today without the support of my community. While living about Virginia, I was able to see firsthand many humans deprived from the support of their community and felt called to the social work profession to support others as I have been supported.I have seven years of human services experience in behavioral health settings, as well as over ten years of customer service and skilled multi-tasking experience in customer support and hospitality settings. I am a Clinical Social Worker with a passion for processing developmental and systemic trauma with individuals and communities, with a specialization in working with individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community. Feel free to message me, I'd love to chat.
