About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a Board-Approved Clinical Social Work Supervisor (BACS), a lifelong Qualified School Social Work Specialist (QSSWS), a Licensed Clergy, and an Assistant Professor of Social Work. I am now pursuing a doctorate in education, focusing on P-20 special education. For over 17 years, I have worked in social work, focusing on marginalized populations and assisting individuals/families with special education needs and disabilities and their consequences on schools, individuals, and family relations. I offer a unique perspective to my students and clients based on my personal, academic, and clinical experiences and my competence as a school and faith-based social worker. My prior expertise, experience, and perspective assist in supporting people and families as they navigate the complexity of the special education evaluation process and school-based and faith-based interventions to provide diversity, inclusive, and equitable support while in the field.

Christian is attentive, caring and respectful of what I have to say. She listens when I need to talk and gives me advice that always has helped me better understand my emotions. I couldn't have asked for a better therapist and I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to work on bettering their mental health.
