Licensed Master Level Psychologist (LMLP), Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Work (LSCSW)
I am passionate about providing high quality, evidence-based interventions to youth who have experienced trauma and other life challenges.
I my worked in early childhood mental health for nearly 20 years. I have been employed at Positive Bright Start as an Early Childhood Mental Health Clinician and Early Childhood Services Administrator since 2007. I opened my private practice in 2016. I am passionate about providing high quality, evidence-based interventions to young children who have experienced trauma and other life challenges. I believe that children do as good as they can and have the innate capacity to heal. I adopt the practice of non-directive play therapy, allowing each child to direct their own healing process in a supportive, nonjudgmental, and relational space. Establishing safety and trust are integral to the therapeutic process and I place emphasis on this process of connection knowing that without the felt sense of safety, children are not able to fully heal.
