Bio
Harvey D. Cottrell, MSW,LSW,MA.
Christina is one of the most compassionate social workers that I have worked with. She operates from a place of respecting the dignity of the client and truly exemplifies the core values of social work. Christina stands out among her peers as being exceptionally organized and ready to assist her colleagues. In addition to this Christina has a great sense of humor which is needed to successfully navigate the field of social work. In the years that I have known and worked with Christina I have become a better social worker because of her guidance and example.
