| Introduction | I am a 53 year old licensed clinical social worker. I enjoy working with teens and adults. I also work with couples. I have never met a person or a family without strengths and resiliency. In my spare time I am trying to grow up and not grow up, love my wife and my kids, practice mindfulness imperfectly, be calm, be more risk taking and generous. Currently I am on a hand full of insurance panels including BC/BS, Cigna, Aetna, and Medicare. Call any time to set an appointment; 615 306 0580. |
