Over the last 30+ years, I have had the opportunity to work with diverse populations in a variety of settings. I have evolved through this journey, and grateful for the opportunity to grow and learn from my clients. My approach to treatment is developed through collaboration with my client(s), by putting their needs first. I believe in cultivating a trusting relationship and taking an eclectic treatment approach by creating a safe, comfortable, and relaxed environment.
As a licensed clinical social worker, I treat children, adolescents, adults, and families. I specialize in children & adolescents with behavioral health concerns, school refusal, adjustment disorders (i.e., divorce), self-harm, ADHD, and trauma. I also provide treatment for adults with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life coaching aspirations. My approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Play Therapy, Person-centered Therapy, DBT, and other treatment modalities.

I received my MSW from Loyola University in 2002 and my DSW from Tulane University in 2022. I strive to continue to learn. I have five children, three of my own and two bonus sons. Although 4 of the 5 are adults, they keep my husband and me busy. We enjoy traveling, nature, and helping others (in the US and abroad). We welcomed our first grandchild in 2023 and enjoy spending time with him. My favorite hobby is volunteering for an equine therapy center, where I board two horses. In my free time, I enjoy activities like riding a horse, walking the dogs, traveling, and spending time with our children and grandson. I also appreciate spending quiet nights at home with my husband.
