I am an LCSW with over 25 years of experience working with children and adults. Most of my work has focused on providing individual and family therapy to young adults, as well as children and adult survivors of trauma. I would describe my style as warm, supportive, genuine, and direct. I recognize that securing your trust is key in developing a productive therapeutic working relationship. I believe our experiences shape the way we see the world which can lead to patterns that are no longer serving us. Our thoughts impact the way we feel, and insight into these connections can move us towards change and healing. I recognize the decision to engage in therapy can be a difficult one. I will provide you with a safe space for us to work towards the goals you have set for yourself and make the changes you want to see in your life. Specialty Areas: Depression, Anxiety, OCD, Relationship Issues, Family Conflicts, Trauma & Abuse, Self-Esteem, Coping With Life Changes, Adolescence, Attachment Issues, PANDAS

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

We will have set some clear goals and you have a good understanding of how we will measure progress.

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

Telehealth has become a wonderful tool. The experience I bring comes from years of working with children in multiple levels of care including inpatient, partial, residential treatment, and specialized foster care. In my private practice and community outpatient work, I have provided stabilization services working closely with inpatient and partial programs to support newly discharged clients and families. I was a trusted partner providing level of care assessments for a local school district, supporting families through parent training, crisis intervention, family therapy, and group therapy for teens. More recently as a program manager, I managed a team of clinical supervisors, therapists, and administrative staff working to provide school-based mental health services in 5 districts.
