About

I work with adolescents, young adults, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, self-doubt, attachment challenges, and behavioral concerns. Many of my clients are adoptees, have lived in foster care, or are navigating identity and family transitions. As a trans-racial adoptee, foster parent, and school social worker with 20 years of experience, I bring both clinical expertise and lived perspective. I also incorporate animal-assisted therapy with my trained therapy dog for clients who may benefit from her presence.

Using a blend of Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Narrative Therapy, I support clients in building insight, identifying strengths, and navigating the challenges they face. I tailor each session to meet the individual needs and goals of my clients,
