It is a stressful place to be when you are concerned about your child's physical and mental well-being. You do not have to go through this alone. My purpose and passion is providing support and encouragement to students and families in need. Helping teens find their way while improving their self-esteem and functioning is part of it. My experiences working with teens and families--meeting them where they are--spans a decade. Above all I value building connections with students and families as part of providing therapeutic services. 

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker, Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) and have experience treating anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, suicidality and related disorders. My approach is strengths based, helping students and families build on their strengths and improve overall functioning. I am trained in the following treatment modalities: art therapy interventions, solution focused interventions, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectic behavioral therapy interventions, motivational interviewing skills and trauma focused interventions.
