I’m a Licensed Social Worker, who provides a welcoming and secure space for children, adolescents, adults, and families. I strive to help each individual feel recognized, listened to, and affirmed while working toward healing and meaningful change.
My approach is trauma-informed and relational, focused on the mind-body connection and how experiences shape emotions, behaviors, and relationships. I integrate EMDR, TBRI, Trauma-Focused approaches, Theraplay, Sandtray, DBT, CBT, and DDP, tailoring treatment to each client’s needs.
I am especially passionate about working with children and families to build secure attachment, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen connection, while also helping adults process trauma and develop healthier coping skills. I believe healing happens through safety, connection, and collaboration, and I aim to meet clients where they are.
