I graduated with my MSW in 2011, and since then I've worked in a few different settings, mostly all involving children and families. I have experience with schools, family court, and child welfare.

When I work with kids, I like to be as creative as possible. Many of the toys in my office have improvised accessories that kids have made themselves (a basketball net for the dollhouse made of pipe cleaners, a collection of pretend food made from clay or play dough)

With adults, I try to use humor as much as I can - if you are able to laugh about a problem, sometimes it is easier to think about it differently. I really try to make people feel comfortable or at least like coming to therapy isn't a chore, even though we're doing work.

I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. I try to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you.
