In my many years as a social worker, I have worked extensively with children who struggle with ADHD, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and anger. I have helped many young people on the autism spectrum. I’m drawn to working with the younger population because, despite the troubles they’re having, their youth allows for a resilience that helps them overcome their hardships. It is a supportive, understanding, and humorous adult who can make a difference in a child’s life and their family’s life, and I find it a privilege to work in that role.
I use humor, creativity and compassion to help children make better sense of their world. I have spent many years perfecting my play therapy technique, recently discovering that it can work effectively even in teletherapy. My empathy and caring allows me to see the world through a child's eyes, allowing for greater communication and understanding.
People in pain feel alone. One of my greatest skills is the ability to break through barriers to create an encouraging and supportive relationship. If you or your child is dealing with personal demons that are inhibiting healthy growth, please contact me and allow me to help you find your way onto a positive path.
