***********@***.***
I am a licensed master level social worker (LCSW) licensed clinical
social worker/psychotherapist/medical professional. National ASWB
clinical test in 2003 for LCSW. My desire is to be allowed to be a
moral, ethical and autonomous social worker in a leadership position. My
belief is that all people are created as equals; many just forget.
Through example, respect and fairness, I wish to be a positive influence
with all clinicians and clients. The identified client/patient is always
the most important person in a social work role, followed by advocating
for all groups, individuals, families, and colleagues. Empowerment is
essential for a successful relationship in any situation. Compassion,
empathy, self-awareness complete this recipe. "What we do in love is
never lost."
