I have been in social services for over twenty years, and love working with people. It is an honor to connect with people and assist them in whatever difficulties they may be facing.
I work with individuals, and with families that have special needs members such as Autism, ADHD, and Asperger's. Some other areas I work with are victims of trauma, those who have been sexually, physically and /or emotionally abused, substance use issues and those who struggle with anxiety and depression
