If your child is struggling with big emotions, behavior challenges, or a difficult life transition, you’re not alone—and support is here. I am a Supervisee in Social Work who brings warmth, creativity, and a deep commitment to helping children, teens, and families feel more connected, understood, and confident. I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work from Walden University and have experience in substance use treatment as well as specialized play therapy settings.
I work primarily with children and adolescents ages 4–18, supporting concerns such as anxiety, emotional regulation, behavioral challenges, trauma, and life transitions. I understand that children don’t always have the words to express what they’re feeling. I use developmentally appropriate, creative approaches to include play and structured interventions.
My approach is compassionate, structured, and collaborative. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where children feel seen and empowered, while also working closely with parents to provide guidance, practical tools, and ongoing support.

I integrate child-centered play therapy techniques with more direct, structured play interventions, along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, and trauma-informed care. I understand that children communicate through play and thoughtfully create a space where they can feel safe, understood, and empowered. I work collaboratively with parents.
