- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families within the school system. My professional focus includes supporting students in special education and helping families navigate the academic environment, advocacy processes, and school-related challenges.
I provide a nurturing, nonjudgmental, and compassionate space where each individual feels heard and respected. My approach is strengths-based and collaborative, emphasizing empathy, practical problem-solving, and individualized care. Treatment modalities are tailored to each client’s unique needs, developmental stage, and goals, with attention to emotional, behavioral, and academic concerns.
It takes courage to seek support and advocate for yourself or your child. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to provide guidance, understanding, and support as you navigate challenges and move toward growth and positive change.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
