About
Finding the right therapist is a deeply personal and important process. I believe the connection you have with your therapist is the most important contributor to success and healing. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in individual therapy with preteens, teens, and adults. My practice is also dedicated to the unique challenges of trauma and its impact on families, with a specialized focus on empowering parents raising children who have experienced trauma through foster care and adoption. Specialties: My main areas of focus are trauma, depression and anxiety. I specialize in work with teenagers and young adults struggling with stress, relationships, and adjusting to life changes. I also have extensive experience working with foster and adoptive families, especially parenting kids with traumatic backgrounds. Credentials & Experience: I have almost ten years of experience working with children, teens and adults in crisis.
"I use social work principles such as a nonjudgmental, person-centered approach, with all of my clients. I draw from several therapy modalities including CBT, DBT, interpersonal therapy, and systems theory."
