Jerri, LMSW, CAACD, CCS

Reaching out for support when needed takes courage. Accepting support is a strength. Challenges are a part of life and having the tools to cope with life challenges makes a difference. I believe it’s never too late to learn something new or build on what you already know.  When things change within you, things change around you, and having the right support, knowledge, and understanding can change your life forever.

In the 27 years I’ve been a Social Worker, I’ve gained experience in various settings including outpatient, residential, and outreach.  I’ve worked as a case manager, a therapist, and a supervisor.  I have extensive practice in substance abuse, trauma recovery, and women-specific treatment.  I strive to provide a space where you can feel comfortable talking about your concerns and empowered to overcome them.
