I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of experience serving children and adolescents, with a passion for the positive development of youth. I used a strengths-based, trauma-informed, and interactive approach, prioritizing that every child finds their voice; feels seen, heard, and empowered; and has fun in the process! I specialize in assisting youth in navigating daily stressors and trauma.
After the initial assessment, I spend lots of time focused on building rapport with my new clients and getting an understanding of their goals and developing a plan to get there together. Progress and growth are not linear. Clients will find they will experience ups and downs in therapy but this is a part of the progress. Stay the course and wonderful outcomes are possible!
I work to create a relaxed, fun and engaging environment where youth and young adults feel free to be themselves! Clients can expect to feel important, seen and heard but also challenged to recognize their personal power and how to harness it to think better, feel better and do better!
