Hello! I am a licensed Social Worker based in Pittsburgh, PA, with over 15 years of experience dedicated to supporting children and families. My expertise lies in working with children and adolescents, from elementary school through high school, focusing on addressing personality and behavioral challenges. I am passionate about helping older teens (ages 14-18) develop life skills, navigate challenges, and plan for a successful future. My extensive background includes working with those touched by the Department of Human Services system, providing me with a deep understanding of the unique needs of the children I serve.
If you’re seeking compassionate, goal-oriented support for your child or teen, I would be honored to help them thrive.
