I am a Limited License Master of Social Work clinician who specializes in seeing children ages 4-17. I am located in Irwin Counseling Services in Downtown Jackson. I have a person-centered approach to ensure every child’s unique mental health needs are being met in a safe space.
My background includes specialized training for treatment of PTSD and trauma symptoms through trauma-focused and mindfulness based approaches. I have worked with children experiencing many therapeutic needs like depression, anxiety, communication difficulties, anger issues, LGBTQ+ issues, ADHD, and cognitive impairments.
I have experience working in child welfare with a certificate in Evidence Based Trauma Treatment from MSU and a Child Welfare Endorsement from SAU. I bring a development and trauma-informed perspective into the therapy room where we mix together fun and emotional work. Please reach out if you think I would be a good fit to work with your child!

I work with children ages 4-17 specializing in trauma, attachment, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ issues, and behavioral concerns. During initial sessions, I work to understand the child's unique needs and to make a plan to address their specific concerns. We then work on practicing specific coping skills and growing the child's resilience to work towards symptom reduction.

Depending on the child's unique needs, I apply different approaches and models. If a child has experienced trauma, I use trauma-focused approaches to therapy. I also lean towards experiential and mindfulness approaches to help the child learn more about themselves and how to be present and emotionally regulated.
