Reaching is an important first step, and I'm glad you're here. For nearly 30 years, I've worked with children and teens in schools, from early childhood through high school, so I understand what kids are facing in the classroom, with friends, and at home. As a licensed clinical social worker, I've supported families through anxiety, depression, stress, friendship and social challenges, learning differences, grief, school-related concerns, and times of crisis.

Whether your child is going through a difficult moment or has been struggling for a while, I'm ready to help them feel like themselves again and to support you in your parenting journey. Additionally, I offer parent consulting: practical guidance and strategies to support your child at home and at school.

My approach is warm, personal, and tailored to you or your child. I draw on cognitive-behavioral, strengths-based, child-centered, and family systems techniques, along with mindfulness and social skills practices kids can use in daily life. I meet each client where they are and work forward from there. I believe a trusting partnership leads to the best outcomes.

In our first session, I'll focus on getting to know your child (or you, if you're the one seeking support): what's been going on at school, at home, or with friends, and what you're hoping changes. For younger kids that often looks like play and conversation together; for teens, it's more direct talk. From there, we build a plan around your family's specific goals, so you know what we're working toward from day one.
