Hi, I am both an Licensed clinical social worker and a doctorate level social worker. I am specialized in trauma work, as someone certified in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). I also have a degree in journalism and mass media, so writing is my speciality. I meet deadlines and will work with you to make sure you get your report within a timely fashion. I am professional, punctual, and easy to work with. I am also articulate and am available for testifying, if needed. Happy to set up a free 10 minute call to see if I am a match for your needs!
