CONNECTing Children & Families to Care

​

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, and young adults as they navigate life’s challenges. With experience across school settings, youth programs, and academic environments, I bring a strong foundation in behavioral interventions, social-emotional learning, and strengths-based care.

I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. My approach is rooted in a social work perspective, recognizing the impact of family, school, and community systems on overall well being.

I have worked extensively with youth experiencing behavioral challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, and academic stress. I am especially passionate about helping young people build confidence, develop effective coping skills, and successfully navigate important life transitions, including the move into college and young adulthood.

Through a collaborative and individualized approach, I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of my clients. Whether you are seeking practical tools, emotional support, or guidance through a difficult period, I am here to support.

My goal is to empower clients to better understand themselves, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.
