I'm a licensed clinical social worker who has been working with children and families for over 20 years. I've worked as a school social worker in a large district, with youth from pre-k through high school. I'm knowledgeable about educational, as well as social-emotional, barriers that can make it appear as if children are unmotivated, or not working to their potential. Using a strengths and solution focused perspective helps children and families work through obstacles preventing them from identifying their unique abilities and promise. I specialize in play therapy with children ages 6-10, but work with children of all ages.
I use an integrative, individualized approach including elements of psychodynamic play and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I have experience navigating school systems, including special education, as well as behavioral health in a hospital setting. I've worked extensively with ASD children and teens who are verbal and struggling with self-esteem.
I'd love to speak with you about how I can assist you and your child(ren) in moving forward. I believe authentic connection is the foundation of a strong therapeutic relationship and offer a free 15-30 minute phone consultation so that we can determine if we would like to work together.

When you bring your child(ren) to me, you can expect a collaborative approach which will seek to highlight their strengths, and increase their ability to identify and explore their feelings, as they relate to their experiences and behavior. Play therapy is a very important modality for younger children, who may find it difficult to express their feelings verbally.

In addition to offering play therapy, which is the gold standard for young children who struggle to verbalize feelings, I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which explores how thoughts affect emotions and behavior. Together, we will develop a plan to determine what will be the most appropriate approach for your child's unique circumstances and needs.
