With over 20 years as a social worker and therapist, I have a broad range of experience working in a variety of community settings including; residential treatment, public schools, parenting programs, community based mental health programs, and private practice. I have a deep understanding of how important emotional health is to people in all ages and stages of life.

My experience is grounded in attachment theory, developmental psychology, psychodynamics, trauma informed treatments, mindfulness-based approaches, play therapy and other creative approaches.

It might be helpful for you to know that I have received specialized training in Play Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), The Incredible Years (parenting program), Mindfulness Based Self-Compassion, Attachment Focused EMDR and am certified as an Early Childhood/Family Mental Health specialist.
