I have extensive experience working in outpatient, school-based, community mental health, residential, and child welfare settings. My background includes providing individual and group therapy, conducting comprehensive assessments, developing treatment plans, and collaborating with families, schools, and other service providers to support long-term emotional and behavioral wellness.

In addition to my private practice work, I have worked as a contracted school therapist, supporting students in grades K–12 with emotional, behavioral, and social challenges. I am skilled in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral concerns, substance use, and co-occurring disorders.
