What is an LCSW?
An LCSW is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. As a social worker, I have been trained to focus on the person in environment, meaning I focus on how a person's environment and history have created certain experiences and memories which in turn lead a person to react or think a certain way.
What are your areas of expertise?

Each session takes between 50-60 minutes.
What does the first session look like?
The first session is most commonly known as an assessment or an evaluation. It will most likely include a questionnaire and other questions to obtain an overall history of you.

Can you complete medical/disability forms?
Medical or disability forms can be completed on very rare occasions, it is important you understand how medical/disability forms can affect you.

It is highly encouraged you speak with your Primary Care Physician or Psychiatrist for assistance in completing these forms.
