Hello all, I am a Licensed Clinician Social Worker who is passionate about what I do. I have been in the field, in different capacities, for over 20 years. I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background includes clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, have a history of trauma, struggle with poor self-esteem and interpersonal challenges. I am a big advocate on clients being themselves in sessions and helping each person understand that their voice/narrative matters.

I believe meaningful healing begins when individuals feel seen, heard, and understood. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I bring over four years of clinical counseling experience, along with more than twenty-two years as a school psychologist, to support children, individuals, and families.

With more than two decades in education, I became deeply aware of how essential mental health support is for children and families. I witnessed firsthand how emotional challenges can affect learning, relationships, and overall well-being—and how transformative the right support can be.

These experiences led me to pursue a career in mental health counseling. Today, I partner with adults to help them build a strong, grounded foundation for themselves, one that naturally extends to their children and strengthens the family as a whole. I also remain committed to supporting teens as they enter adulthood, helping them develop the tools and confidence needed for lifelong well-being.
