Strengths-Based and Client-Centered

Over 15 years of experience in mental health as a Social Worker, I've had the privilege of journeying alongside adolescents, children, and adults through their mental health challenges in various settings such as hospitals, out-of-home placements, and working in community-based settings. My approach is deeply rooted in compassion and understanding, focusing on nurturing each individual's strengths and honoring their autonomy in crafting their path toward healing. I recognize that every person's journey is unique, and I strive to create a safe and inclusive space where clients feel heard, respected, and valued for who they are. I provide trauma-informed care based on patient readiness and choice, acknowledging that the patient's intersectionality plays a role in treatment needs and support. I work where the patient is while providing a safe environment to build rapport and a therapeutic relationship. I am a Certified Trauma Professional. Experienced working with marginalized populations.

I understand that seeking therapy can be a vulnerable and emotional experience. That's why creating a safe and supportive atmosphere is so important to me. As your therapist, I am here to listen to your needs, honor your feelings, and guide you toward a more authentic and resilient self. I invite you to take the first step in healing and contact me.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker with over 20 years experience working with children, teens, adults, and families in various non profit and hospital settings. I am a caring and compassionate advocate who believes in identifying and building on the individual strengths of clients as the first step to positive life changes. Looking for areas where a client can find success can help build confidence and motivate them on their journey to address the challenges they are facing. My goal as a therapist is to provide a space where a client, whether a child or an adult, feels heard, supported, and empowered in navigating family dynamics and the world in healthy ways.

I am a graduate of Northwestern University and earned my Masters in Social work from Columbia University. My work includes individual and family counseling, developmental screenings, support groups, parent training courses, resource coordination and community engagement. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with clients of various family structures as well as those who have unique concerns and needs associated with adoption, military life, special medical and educational needs, grief and loss, chronic illness, and parenting newborns to teens.

As the parent of three children, I am keenly aware of many of the challenges faced by kids and families in today's world related to post pandemic effects, increased technology use, social media and school pressures. Additionally, I know the life of a family changes with each stage of development of children and the parenting strategies must also evolve. I look forward to nurturing strong, therapeutic relationships with clients in a supportive environment to bring greater self awareness, empowerment and goal setting so clients can make positive changes in their lives and the lives of their families.
