Welcome! I’m glad you’re here.

A little about me: when I decided to become a social worker, it was because I wanted to “help” people. I was also drawn to the social work values of service, social justice, the dignity and worth of the person, the importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence. As I began my career in social work, I came to understand that the best way to help my clients is to support them in building on their strengths and empower them to pursue the changes they seek. I genuinely enjoy getting to know my clients and coming alongside them as they work towards their goals.

My social work experience includes nonprofit settings, foster care and adoption, children’s mental health, community based social work, and residential group homes. I have worked primarily with children and families during my career.

I partner with children, teens, and parents who are struggling with challenging behavior, trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, and other concerns that are creating a disruption in relationships. I love helping children build coping skills in order to manage what they are going through. I help parents strengthen their relationship with their child and build on their existing parenting strategies.

Additionally, I work with adults facing challenges related to trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting, life transitions, and stress.

I’m passionate about working with individuals impacted by foster care and adoption—including parents, children, and kinship caregivers. I recognize the unique challenges these families face and I’m dedicated to providing the support they need.
