Childhood and adolescence are the foundations of who we become as adults, yet so many young people struggle with having and using the tools to become the best version of themselves. I feel called to help young people (and subsequently their families too) begin to heal, and ultimately feel capable of growing into their preferred version of themselves. Success looks different for everyone.

Before I became a therapist, I was a school teacher, and it was in this educational world that I learned how much the challenges of today’s world can impact young people. As a current school social worker and therapist, I see how much strong social emotional skills, empathy, communication, and positive self-esteem can help children reach their potential.

I received my BA in secondary education, and went on to receive a Master’s in Social Work. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a person-centered approach when working with clients. I work with clients of all ages, but my experience in schools have helped me become adept at therapy with ages 5-18.

If you feel as though I may be able to help you, please schedule an appointment today! Every journey starts with a single step; if you're reading this, you are probably ready to take the first step towards growing into your best self.
