As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring warmth, understanding, and over a decade of experience supporting adolescents and young adults navigating life's challenges. My practice centers on empathy and respect—meeting each client exactly where they are. I specialize in working with neurodiverse individuals, including those with ADHD, autism spectrum differences, and other learning or cognitive profiles. My approach is strengths-based and collaborative, helping clients recognize their unique abilities while addressing behavioral and emotional health concerns. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, school issues, mood instability, or social difficulties, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore what’s going on and to build practical skills for growth. My interventions are tailored to each individual and family, using evidence-based strategies grounded in compassion. I understand how complex adolescence can be—for both teens and caregivers—and I'm here to support the process with insight, patience, and care.
