Smiths Station, Alabama is a bedroom community in east-central Alabama. Settlers lived on the land as early as the 1700s but the town was a latecomer in getting incorporated in 2001. Smiths Station gets its name from an early settler by the name of Broadus Smith and the locals affectionately refer to their town as “Smiths.” Each new day brings optimism, but when you’re not feeling your mental or emotional best, you may feel like hibernating to your bedroom rather than face the world.

Smiths Station is new community and you don’t have to miss all that it has to offer. Quaint as it may be, the Smiths Station area offers professional mental health counselors that are a good match for helping you emerge from isolation.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Alabama, Virginia, Georgia, the District of Columbia, and Maryland. My experience includes clinical social work, risk management, regulatory compliance, quality assurance, case management, crisis intervention, advocacy, brokerage, education, and facilitation working with diverse groups of children, adolescents, and adults in medical social work, child welfare, mental health/chemical dependency, corrections, HIV/AIDS, and Veteran Affairs. While working with these clients, I have acquired necessary clinical skills relevant to culturally diverse practice and effective outcomes. I am a well-organized, highly motivated, and an energetic team player dedicated to meeting my clients where they are through both micro and macro level social work interventions. Working in Mental Health for over 12 years, I've learned that people are literally trying to put the pieces of their life together just to make it through the day. Being sensitive to this, I've developed my practice model around the following quote, "We're only as strong as our weakest link; therefore do your best to strengthen someone today!" My goal every day is to strengthen someone (self-included) in some area. Let's Live in Purpose so we can Win on Purpose!
