I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in working with infants, children, adolescents, adults, and families. My work as a therapist has instilled within me an unwavering belief in the strength and beauty of the human spirit to grow, heal, and persevere, even through life's most difficult circumstances. Helping others through that process is a joy and honor. I have had the opportunity to work with children and families who are facing a variety of social, emotional, and mental health challenges, including: Child and adolescent anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, substance abuse, ADHD, school problems, challenging behavior, parent-child interaction problems, attachment disorders, LGBTQ+, and developmental disabilities. I have extensive training and experience working with adults in the realm of Maternal Mental Health, trauma, IPV, parent coaching, attachment relationships, post-traumatic stress disorder, personality disorders, and mood disorders.  I am trained in Infant Mental Health; Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy; and EMDR.
