I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in working with children and adolescents. I also work with adults.

Most importantly, I believe that working with others is a tremendous responsibility and a sacred trust. It is an honor I never take lightly.

It takes courage to reach out for help. I believe every person big or small deserves to be supported and championed as they continue to grow. Often, parents feel overwhelmed in knowing how to best provide support for those they love most: their children. Children are innately different from adults as they develop into their true selves. It is my honor to partner with parents to bridge this gap and provide space for their child to be supported, heard, and grow in confidence. I see clients of all ages including children, adolescents, parents, and adults. I also offer faith integrative Christian counseling upon client request only.

Children, teens, and young adults struggling with anxiety and difficult life transitions know that it can feel overwhelming, stressful and may feel worried that no one will understand how they feel. This may affect friendships, relationships with family members, school and work experiences, and many other areas of life. Therapy can help decrease anxiety and worries by teaching new coping skills to better manage anxiety and stress. This can lead to feeling a greater sense of self control, happiness and well being.
