Hi – I’m so glad you’re here! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed School Social Worker with over ten years of experience supporting children (ages 5 and up), adolescents, and families. My background in school-based mental health has prepared me to address a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and social challenges that may be interfering with a child or teen’s overall well-being and success
A special part of my practice includes my two certified therapy dogs, Mel and Louis, who are often part of the healing journey. Whether offering comfort, playfulness, or a calming presence, they help many clients feel more at ease and connected during sessions. Animal-Assisted Therapy can be especially helpful for children and teens who may have difficulty opening up or engaging in traditional talk therapy.
My clinical expertise includes working with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, family changes such as divorce, trauma, self-esteem issues, anger management, and neurodiversity. I also enjoy collaborating with parents and caregivers—helping them better understand their child’s behavior, strengthen their connection, and build strategies for navigating tough moments together.
My approach is strengths-based, integrative, and relationship-focused. I believe meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship—one that honors each person’s unique strengths, experiences, and needs. Therapy with me may include techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Animal-Assisted Therapy, Play Therapy Techniques, Sandtray Therapy, Mindfulness Approaches, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).
Above all, I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow, heal, and build resilience. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where individuals can explore challenges, gain insight, and develop tools that bring more peace, connection, and confidence into their lives. If it sounds like I might be a good fit, I’d love to hear from you. Reach out for a free consultation—I look forward to supporting you!
