I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to providing compassionate, client-centered assessments for individuals seeking Emotional Support Animals (ESAs). My approach is grounded in evidence-based practice, with a focus on understanding each person’s unique mental health needs and the meaningful role that animals can play in emotional well-being.
