I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 13 years experience working within the school social work capacity. I also have previous experience working within a clinical setting as well as having served as a volunteer for a nonprofit organization providing support to grieving children who experienced the loss of a loved one. I am experienced in working with school-aged children who may be affected by ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, life changes, grief and loss, mood, and divorce issues. I am also a wife and mother, therefore I feel that I have a greater understanding of challenges and stresses which may impact families. I provide children, adolescents, and young adults a safe and unbiased environment as they journey through the process of better developing a healthier and happier sense of self. I use the strengths perspective and cognitive behavioral therapy to help individuals navigate through their challenges to better reach healthier and happier coping strategies. Life can be difficult and you do not have to walk through your journey alone. When you take care of yourself first, you are better able to care for others and be happier and more successful in your life.
