I have been in the field of child welfare since 2008, many years prior spent working in groups homes and shelters. A majority of my county experience, short of 10 years, was in on-going case management, many of these as a Lead in the on-going unit. I then spent a few years doing FAR/Investigations before transitioning into adoptions. I am currently a Child Welfare Supervisor.

I have worked in child welfare, kinship care, and adoption since 2004. I started out serving as a volunteer Guardian ad Litem with the Second Judicial District. From 2006-2017, I filled a variety of roles with the North American Council on Adoptable Children (NACAC) that primarily centered around advocacy, support, leadership capacity development, and education for youth, young adults, families, and professionals within the foster care, kinship care, and adoption communities.
My focus of practice is early childhood, particularly working with children who have experienced trauma or have disabilities. I am passionate about supporting kids with symptoms of Autism and providing them with the tools and care they need to thrive. My approach is centered on creating a nurturing and understanding environment, where every child feels valued and understood. With a commitment to continuous learning and evidence-based practices, I strive to make a positive impact on the lives of the children and families I work with.
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Registered Play Therapist (RPT). I currently work with clients ages 0-10 and their families with a variety of mental health needs and concerns.
My area of focus is trauma therapy and art - the collaboration to create a holistic experience.
