Online Therapy for Kids, Teens & Young Adults in Chesterfield

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate emotional, behavioral, and life challenges. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Alabama State University and my Master of Social Work from Walden University, where I developed a strong foundation in ethical, client-centered, and evidence-based practice. I have experience working with individuals and families facing concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, emotional regulation, self-esteem challenges, and school-related issues including truancy and attendance concerns. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, grounded in the belief that meaningful change occurs when clients feel supported, understood, and empowered. I strive to create a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, identify barriers to success, and develop practical coping and problem-solving strategies. My goal is to help clients build resilience, improve self-awareness, and move forward with confidence, clarity, and long-term emotional well-being.

I am a dedicated social worker committed to helping individuals recognize their strengths and true resiliency. I strive to provide the tools and resources needed to navigate difficult times and to find positivity even in challenging situations. My work focuses deeply on supporting individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, and on helping them develop coping skills that strengthen their overall resilience. I look forward to building a strong, trusting relationship where individuals feel safe and comfortable bringing any concerns to our time together. Together, we will work toward meaningful solutions that create a hopeful and inspiring new beginning for anyone facing adversity. My primary goal is to offer support and empower every individual by the end of our work together. Each person I meet fuels my passion and dedication to the mental health field, and I remain committed to finding solutions and providing ongoing support for all.

I am a compassionate mental health therapist and Licensed Social Worker who earned my Master of Social Work from Washington University in St. Louis, specializing in mental health practice. I am deeply committed to supporting children, adolescents, adults, and older adults as they navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, chronic illness, and emotional dysregulation. My clinical approach is grounded in empathy, cultural humility, and evidence-based interventions including CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly heard and empowered to explore their emotions, build coping skills, and strengthen self-confidence. My goal is to help every individual recognize their strengths, heal past wounds, and develop resilience to move toward personal growth and emotional well-being.

I'm a bilingual (Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with children, adolescents, and young adults, along with the caregivers who support them. I believe therapy works best when caregivers are active partners, so collaboration is a big part of how I work. I use Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Alternatives for Families CBT (AF-CBT), Problematic Sexual Behavior TF-CBT (PSB TF-CBT), motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and play-based strategies to help young people process trauma, manage big emotions, and build healthier coping skills. My sessions are calm and supportive, while still engaging and age-appropriate. I work with children and teens experiencing PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, and other emotional or behavioral challenges. I chose this work because I’m passionate about helping children and caregivers heal together and feel more confident moving forward.
