Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in school social work and a passion for supporting children and adolescents navigating neurodiversity, trauma, grief, and chronic illness. With over 10 years of experience working closely with youth and families, I bring a deep understanding of the unique challenges young people face and tailor therapy to meet each child where they are. My therapeutic approach is warm, client centered, and rooted in a strength- based perspective that honors each individuals resilience and capacity for growth. 

In sessions, I integrate skills from cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, play therapy, and sand tray interventions to support emption regulation, build social skills, and address challenges such as anxiety, depression, and self- esteem. My hope is always to create a safe, creative space in the therapy room for young clients to explore their feelings, process experiences, and develop tools to thrive. Whether helping a child work through a loss, build confidence, or navigate the complexities of neurodiversity, I approach each relationship with empathy, curiosity, and an unwavering belief in clients' potential.
