Introduction

Navigating behavior challenges, anxiety, or emotional ups and downs can be exhausting. Having the right support can make a meaningful difference. Hello, I’m a Licensed Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in clinical, medical, and behavioral health settings. I specialize in helping children, teens, and families work through emotional, behavioral, and relationship challenges. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based: I believe every person has the capacity for growth and resilience. I integrate cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and family systems approaches. This means I use practical, evidence-based strategies to help you and your family better understand challenges, solve problems, and improve communication at home. My work includes helping children and teens manage emotions, build coping skills, and strengthen family relationships. I emphasize early intervention, cultural responsiveness, and holistic care that recognizes the connection between mind, body, and environment. I work closely with families to build on their strengths, improve communication, manage stress at home, and create more supportive, connected relationships. I strive to foster a therapeutic environment that encourages self-awareness, emotional regulation, and meaningful growth. I am committed to providing empowering, culturally responsive, justice-oriented, and evidence-guided care.
