LICSW, 20 years of experience
New to Grow
I am a licensed clinical social worker, a school social worker and consultant for ASWR, specializing in education, restorative justice, and social-emotional learning. With over a decade of experience in school-based and community settings, I am deeply committed to creating healing spaces and uplifting the voices of those who have not been heard. I believe in the power of restorative practices and trauma-informed care to foster connection, inclusion, and meaningful change.
During the first session we would discuss what brought you here? This is a time for me to listen to who you are and what goals you have for our time together.
My passion for others to be seen, heard and understood, my ability to sit in discomfort without pulling away. My skills in being able to navigate challenges and remain curious throughout the process. This makes my work inclusive,validating and trauma-informed.
An ideal client would be someone whose challenges are rooted in connection with others. This may be someone feeling stuck unhealthy patterns or relationships, wants to improve communication, rebuild trust. People that need healing from relation trauma or parents wanting to break cycles with their children. Professionals seeking boundaries due to burnout at work.
In my work it has always been essential to build a therapeutic relationship and trust with the people I work with. We thrive when we feel seen, valued and understood by others.
