As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I provide a warm, supportive space where children, adolescents, and their families feel heard and empowered. I earned my Master of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University and have experience providing therapy in school, community mental health, foster care, and telehealth settings. I work with children and teens experiencing anxiety, depression, behavioral and academic concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, family conflict, and peer relationship challenges.

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Through creative telehealth sessions using interactive activities, screen sharing, and games, I help children build coping skills, confidence, and resilience in an engaging way. I also partner closely with parents and caregivers to support lasting progress at home and at school while fostering a trusting environment where children feel safe expressing themselves within the boundaries of confidentiality.

My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help children and adolescents better understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while building practical coping skills. Sessions are tailored to each child's unique needs and incorporate creative, interactive telehealth activities—including screen sharing, games, and play-based techniques—to keep therapy engaging and meaningful.

I believe caregivers are an important part of the therapeutic process and collaborate with families to reinforce skills, improve communication, and support lasting progress. My goal is to help children build confidence, strengthen emotional regulation and problem-solving skills, and develop the tools they need to thrive at home, at school, and in their relationships.

The first session is all about getting to know your child, understanding your concerns, and creating a plan to support your family's goals. I strive to create a welcoming, engaging environment where children and adolescents feel comfortable being themselves.

We'll discuss what brought your child to therapy, their strengths, current challenges, and treatment goals. Parents and caregivers are an important part of the process, and we'll review how we can work together to support progress both during and outside of sessions.

We'll also discuss confidentiality, including how therapy provides a safe space for your child to share openly, as well as the legal and ethical exceptions related to safety concerns, abuse or neglect, and other situations required by law.
