Great to meet you!

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in helping children, adolescents, and their families. I have many years of experience working in the community to help kids and families overcome obstacles to leading a healthy and happy life. If your child is experiencing concerning behavior, or your family cannot overcome conflict, please consider scheduling an appointment.

I use a strengths based approach in all situations. I will focus on the evidence based practice that will meet your individual needs after a thorough assessment. I am experienced with the following therapeutic techniques; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy. For children, I incorporate a child-centered approach with play based techniques.
