I believe that every child has unique strengths and the ability to grow when provided with the right support, understanding, and tools. For more than 27 years, I have worked as a school social worker, helping children, adolescents, and families navigate emotional, behavioral, academic, and social challenges. My extensive experience within the school setting has given me a deep understanding of how a child's mental health, learning environment, family relationships, and daily experiences all work together to influence their overall well-being.

I enjoy working with children and adolescents who are struggling with anxiety, ADHD, behavioral concerns, emotional regulation, depression, and school-related challenges. I am particularly passionate about helping young people better understand their emotions, develop effective coping skills, and build confidence in their ability to manage life's difficulties.

Because of my background in education, I am also highly familiar with school systems, special education processes, and the challenges families often face when advocating for their children. I believe therapy is most effective when we work collaboratively to understand the whole child and support their growth across home, school, and community environments.
