Hello! I'm so glad you are here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 15 years of experience in behavioral health and educational settings. I provide a safe, supportive, and collaborative space in which to explore challenges and develop skills and tools to address them. Are you or your child struggling? Are your struggles or those of your child having a negative impact on your/their functioning at home, school, or work? Perhaps you feel like you don’t know where to start to make changes in your own life. Maybe parenting feels harder than it should, and you feel lost as to how to help your child feel better or navigate issues at school. Do you wonder if things could be better, but you don’t know where to start? If you need help navigating your own difficulties or your child's social, emotional, or behavioral difficulties at home or school, I am here to help.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we will get acquainted and explore your concerns. We will work together to develop a plan to address them. It's common to experience a wide array of feelings and to have questions about the therapeutic process. I will take the time to answer your questions and address any concerns you may have.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am a warm and compassionate provider who really takes the time to listen and get to know my clients. I take a very wholistic approach to understanding clients' needs and will explore all areas that may be contributing to distress.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love working with women working through different life transitions, parents seeking advice on how to help a struggling child, and working directly with kids, tweens, and teens to explore their strengths and develop tools to thrive.
