Professional Objectives
My overarching objective is to continue to hone my therapeutic skills to assist children and families in developing and utilizing coping strategies to optimize their growth and development. I endeavor to grow increasingly proficient in sound treatment approaches that treat the child as a whole and enhance the child’s individual strengths and potentialities. As much as possible, I strive to strengthen primary supports for a child at risk to enhance the outcomes of treatment. I am working toward attaining clinical licensure via weekly clinical supervision and maintaining a full caseload and full employment. I currently possess a permanent social work license or LSW.
