More about Kimberly
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
My name is Kimberly and I have been a social worker for over 20 years, but have been in the mental health field for almost 30 years. I have experience working with the more acutely mentally ill and I have experience working with those with less serious issues. My experience includes working with adolescents as well as the elderly and everyone in between. My clinical experience is with forensics and I have worked with those suffering with depression, bipolar disorder and other major mental illnesses as well as trauma, bereavement and emotional disturbances. I love what I do and look forward to working with you.
