    About Me

      As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a specialization in a wide range of therapeutic areas including ADHD, adoption issues, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and more, I am deeply committed to supporting children and teens, especially those experiencing crises.

      My practice is rooted in trauma-informed care and an understanding of child and adolescent development, enabling me to effectively guide young clients through the complexities of their emotions and experiences. This approach is crucial in helping them navigate school issues, peer relationships, family conflicts, and their own personal challenges related to self-esteem and mental health.

      Incorporating Strengths-Based Therapy, I focus on identifying and cultivating each client’s innate resources and qualities, transforming various life stressors into opportunities for resilience building and growth. My therapeutic strategy involves creating personalized treatment plans that employ coping strategies tailored to the unique needs of each child and teen. This not only addresses their immediate concerns but also fosters a sustained, positive outlook towards life’s challenges.

      My journey in social work has been driven by a profound desire to help others, inspired by witnessing resilience and triumph in diverse settings—from elderly care to working with children, teens, and treatment foster families. These experiences have enriched my understanding of resilience across life stages, enhancing my ability to support not just adults but also the younger individuals who are navigating their formative years. It is a privilege to guide my clients on their paths to self-discovery and healing, equipping them with the confidence and skills to overcome adversity with strength and grace.

      About Me

        I am a compassionate therapist dedicated to helping individuals, including children, teens, adults, and couples, navigate life’s challenges and uncover their strengths in a safe, nonjudgmental, and affirming space. My education and training in both mental health and rehabilitation counseling provide me with a dual perspective, allowing me to consider not only which therapeutic approaches may benefit you but also which accommodative tools can support your goals. For example, if you have ADHD and struggle to focus while reading, we might explore practical tools like a text-to-speech reader to enhance your daily life.

        Much of my work focuses on individuals dealing with ADHD, anxiety, and the effects of trauma. I use a strengths-based approach, working collaboratively with you to identify your goals and values and develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses the barriers interfering with your well-being. My approach is flexible and customized to your needs, but I often draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness. Together, we will examine how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another and explore ways to enhance your ability to cope with and navigate challenges.

        I strive to support you in clarifying what is most important in your life and work with you to align your actions and choices with those values. Along the way, we’ll focus on clearing away the obstacles that separate you from what truly matters. As someone with personal experience navigating anxiety and neurodiversity, I bring both professional expertise and empathy to my work.

        In our sessions, my goal is to help you build and strengthen connections—within yourself, with the people in your life, and with the tools and resources that can help you thrive. Whether you are seeking to reduce distress, build resilience, or create more joy and fulfillment, I am here to partner with you every step of the way. Together, we will work toward fostering peace, connection, and meaningful change in your life.

        About Me

          I am a therapist dedicated to supporting children, teens, and adults in navigating life’s challenges with warmth, collaboration, and a person-centered approach. I work with children and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral difficulties, and life transitions, as well as adults managing relationship challenges, parenting, and personal growth.

          In therapy, I create a supportive and engaging space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while identifying their strengths and goals. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), play therapy, and art therapy, ensuring that treatment aligns with each person’s unique needs and values.

          For children, I foster a creative and comfortable environment that encourages self-expression and development. For adults, I provide a space for reflection, empowerment, and new perspectives. My goal is to help clients gain insight, build resilience, and move toward greater self-acceptance and well-being.

          I believe that growth can happen at any stage, and I am committed to meeting my clients where they are. Together, we will work toward meaningful change, fostering confidence, self-discovery, and a brighter future.

          About Me

            Before becoming a therapist, I spent fourteen years as a middle school English teacher, where I also provided academic coaching and mentored adults in a variety of settings. That experience deepened my passion for walking alongside others as they grow through life’s challenges and transitions. Today, I work with individuals, couples, and families, combining my clinical training with real-world experience to offer meaningful, practical support.

            I specialize in helping clients navigate relationship struggles, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and spiritual concerns. I approach therapy through an attachment-based lens and draw from emotionally focused therapy (EFT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and client-centered work. This integrative approach allows me to tailor sessions to your unique needs.

            In our work together, you (and your partner, if applicable) can expect to gain practical tools to apply in everyday life – tools designed to reduce anxiety and depression, increase emotional insight, and strengthen your connection with yourself and those around you. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where you feel seen, heard, and truly understood. We’ll focus both on addressing immediate concerns and fostering deeper, long-term emotional growth.

            I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regent University and a Bachelor of Arts in Literature from Wheaton College. I truly believe that every person deserves a space where they can explore and rewrite their story with honesty, support, and hope. I’d be honored to partner with you on that journey.
