"Philosophy of the Adoption Program"
Every child in Sherburne County who is legally free for adoption deserves a permanent home.

Individual therapy for adolescents and adults

My primary focus of practice is with adolescents in crisis, with guardians being my secondary practice and the child's systems being tertiary. I have my Master's degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of St Thomas (St. Paul, MN), an LGSW and LICSW. My undergrad is in Gender Studies from Sonoma State University (Rohnert Park, Ca).

I am a Marriage & Family Therapist licensed in New York, New Jersey, and Florida. I can provide parent consultation in the US. I specialize in working with emerging & young adults, adoptees of all ages & their families, and those seeking culturally responsive services.

Areas that I specialize in include: working with all types of families; adoptive, foster, and kinship, adult/youth adoptees, transracial parenting, communication/conflict, life transitions, childhood trauma, child development, as well as depression, anxiety, stress, and other mental health diagnosis.
