About me
As a Licensed Master Social Worker with over 20 years experience, I have primarily served in schools & child custody mediation. I am now bringing these unique experiences to private practice. My passion lies in empowering children, teens, & young adults as they learn to navigate common issues such as anxiety, depression, grief & trauma, behavioral & social issues, & life transitions. I have special interest working with parents & couples following divorce or remarriage—guiding families through the complexities of relationships, marriage, blending, & parenting/co-parenting so children & families can thrive.
Areas of Experience Include: ADHD & Executive Functioning • Anxiety • School Issues • Couples • Coparenting & Blended Families • Family Conflict • Adjustment • College & Life Transitions • Play & Social Skills • Dating & Pre-Marriage Relationships • Depression • Emotional Regulation • Grief & Trauma • Parenting & Step-Parenting • Attachment
I utilize aspects of CBT, Play, ACT, Attachment, & Family Systems while overall my approach is tailored to you & your values & needs. Ultimately, my goal is to meet you where you are—whether you’re seeking tools to address a specific concern or simply a place to process & be heard. I believe in every person’s ability to heal & it's an honor to be a part of your journey.
