I have been a social worker for almost 20 years. I enjoy a varied caseload of young children (up to 10 years old), adults, and geriatric clients. Most of my adult clients meet the criteria of serious and persistent mentally ill. I am also a Certified Play Therapist and utilize a variety of approaches that are individualized to the child. I completed the Infant and Toddler Mental Health Certificate Program in 2009 and will complete the Adoption Competency Certificate Program in 2013.

Therapy is a powerful and individual process that can help reduce symptoms, build tools to deal with stressors and is a mutual relationship that encourages growth. I am here to help support, guide and problem solve through the use of assessment, treatment plans, and outpatient therapy.

Now providing services at new location and practice.
