I'm a licensed clinical social worker who has been working with children and families for over 20 years. I've worked as a school social worker in a large district, with youth from pre-k through high school. I'm knowledgeable about educational, as well as social-emotional, barriers that can make it appear as if children are unmotivated, or not working to their potential. Using a strengths and solution focused perspective helps children and families work through obstacles preventing them from identifying their unique abilities and promise. I specialize in play therapy with children ages 6-10, but work with children of all ages.
I use an integrative, individualized approach including elements of psychodynamic play and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I have experience navigating school systems, including special education, as well as behavioral health in a hospital setting. I've worked extensively with ASD children and teens who are verbal and struggling with self-esteem.
I'd love to speak with you about how I can assist you and your child(ren) in moving forward. I believe authentic connection is the foundation of a strong therapeutic relationship and offer a free 15-30 minute phone consultation so that we can determine if we would like to work together.
