Provider information
Description
I am a registered social worker with graduate-level training in working with individuals, families, and groups. I’ve supported diverse, at-risk populations in child welfare, youth justice, residential and substance use treatment, and international adoption. I offer a trauma-informed, neurodevelopmental lens, using creative expression and play to foster self-awareness, resilience, and connection. I specialize in supporting youth and caregivers, with a focus on adoption, identity, and meaningful relationship-building.
