I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 25 years of experience working with clients in crisis and in community behavioral health. While my primary focus has been children with various needs, I am also comfortable working with adults and families. Throughout my career, I’ve encountered some of the most challenging populations and have supported families during crisis situations. In addition to direct client work, I have served as a supervisor, developer, and trainer for other clinicians and professionals, including teachers, police officers, and school board employees.
I’ve expanded my expertise by working with parents and treating adults, staying flexible and mindful of each client and family's unique needs when selecting therapeutic interventions.
Wherever you are on your journey, I am here to assist you. I look forward to being a supportive listener and providing guidance based on your specific needs and strengths. Let's work together!
