About

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience. My experience ranges from attachment work with young families in the foster care system, clinical therapy with women experiencing trauma and violence in their relationships, to children and families in both school and private practice settings. Working with children, teens, and adults struggling with trauma, stress, anxiety, parenting, and depression have brought me to a place of understanding and empathy.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey using a variety of evidence-based treatments and models. I often draw from Cognitive Behavioral , Humanistic, Attachment, and Trauma-informed models in my approach. I have additional certifications in Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) and Circle of Security Parenting (COS.)
