We listen, act, and transform
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience providing services to children, teens, adults, and families. I earned my Masters of Social Work and became a licensed social worker in 2013, and I became a clinical social worker in 2021. I am certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is a best practice approach for children who have experienced various traumas. I am also working towards a certification on Parent Child Interaction Therapy, which is a treatment approach to teach parents specific skills for children with various behavior issues.
I have experience working with depression, anxiety, ADHD, ODD, PTSD, ASD, Emotional Regulation, Self-Esteem, Domestic Violence, absent parents, Sexual Assault, social justice-related trauma, and various gender and sexuality identities. I have been working as a virtual therapist since 2021 and have found fun, creative ways to work with clients of all ages.
I view therapy as a teamwork approach, working with the client as the expert on themselves. I am there to help them work toward their goals and toward leading a positive and fulfilling life. I also view the whole family as the client when working with children, and I love parent involvement.
