Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has spent over a decade working alongside children, teens and young adults in school settings. My work is centered on helping young people feel heard and seen as they navigate life transitions, emotional challenges, and everyday stressors. I approach therapy with curiosity, collaboration, and a focus on building skills and recognizing strengths.

My approach to therapy

I take a collaborative, grounded approach where clients can feel safe exploring their emotions and uncovering the strengths they already carry. My goal is to create a welcoming, supportive space where growth feels possible and new perspectives emerge at a comfortable pace.

What you can expect from me

The first session is relaxed and pressure-free. I take time to get to know your child and understand what’s been going on, at a pace that feels comfortable. My goal is for your child to feel safe, understood, and confident about whether this space feels right.
