Great to meet you!

I have over 28 years of experience in education and mental health and hold master’s degrees in Counseling and Social Work. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 10 years of experience as a behavior coach, supporting children and adolescents with emotional regulation, anxiety, and coping skills. I have also facilitated community grief groups. My strengths‐based approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution‐Focused practices to help clients reach meaningful, practical goals.

My approach to therapy

My work with clients is collaborative, supportive, and strengths‐based. I focus on helping individuals understand and manage their emotions, build coping skills, and develop practical strategies for everyday challenges. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution‐Focused practices, with an emphasis on meeting clients where they are and working toward realistic, meaningful goals.

What you can expect from me

My style is practical and goal‐oriented, helping clients build insight while learning real‐world tools they can use right away. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution‐Focused practices to address emotional regulation, anxiety, and behavioral challenges.

Typical goals include improving emotional awareness, strengthening coping and problem‐solving skills, reducing anxiety, and increasing confidence and resilience. I specialize in working with clients to create a calm, encouraging space that promotes growth, accountability, and positive change. My focus is on helping clients recognize their strengths and move toward meaningful, achievable outcomes.
