I believe everyone, especially children and adolescents, deserves a safe space to process and explore their feelings and the life challenges that come their way. It is my goal to provide a safe space for children and their families to explore and process whatever experiences or challenges they might be facing, as well as assist in their growth as they work to better understand themselves, explore their emotions, and build coping strategies.
I graduated with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Missouri and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in working with children and youth experiencing symptoms related to trauma, anxiety, social emotional, and behavioral needs. I utilize a strengths-based, person-centered approach for each client and family, with a focus on play-based interventions. I also like to utilize art therapy techniques, as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
I look forward to working with your child and family!
