Life is full of wonderful moments and overwhelming challenges. As a licensed clinical social worker, I strive to provide support through all of life’s moments. You may be having overwhelming thoughts that feel out of control or feel frozen in social settings. Maybe you’re waking up in the mornings and getting out of bed feels like an impossible task. Perhaps you’re feeling disconnected from family or peers. Or maybe you’ve been through unbelievably challenging experiences that you’re ready to start healing from. Whatever it may be, I’m dedicated to providing an open, safe environment to help you create lasting positive change.

Therapy is meant to be a place where anyone can feel safe and understood. With all of the major stressors that kids are facing in this current age, it can be a game-changer for a child to have a place where they feel accepted and supported. I became a therapist not to pathologize or diagnose children, but to become another safe adult in their support system who guides them to their goals and cheers them on from the sidelines. I specialize in helping children and teens ages 3–17 navigate through emotional challenges, stressful life transitions, and difficult developmental experiences through play therapy and a warm, supportive environment.
