(she/her)
Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have provided counseling services to children and adolescents for the past 25 years in a school and outpatient setting. I love working with this population. I have experience addressing issues related to ADHD, divorce, depression, anxiety, autism and social skills. I work hard to ensure that each child/adolescent that I see feels understood and supported. I work to empower my clients to feel success and pride in their accomplishments.
During our first session, we will get to know each other. I will conduct a comprehensive assessment to get to know you better while also working to build a relationship for therapy. We will discuss possible treatment goals and the time frames. We will also determine if the counseling relationship is a good fit during our first session.
I'm very empathetic while holding clients accountable for their work. I do a good job of connecting with others and making them feel heard and understood. I have years of experience working with youth and use a number of counseling modalities and approaches that I tailor toward individual needs.
My dream client is a child or adolescent who needs a warm, understanding approach, but also requires gentle challenging to make positive change.
