About My Clients
I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, caregiver burnout, chronic illness, and medical trauma. I also specialize in supporting parents and caregivers of children with special needs, foster and adoptive families, and those feeling overwhelmed by the emotional weight of caring for others. Together, we'll create a path toward healing, resilience, and hope.
My Background and Approach
I have over 11 years of experience as a pediatric hospital social worker supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, grief, caregiver burnout, chronic illness, medical trauma, disability, life transitions, and family stress. I have specialized experience working with parents and caregivers of children with special needs, neurodivergence, foster care, adoption, and complex medical conditions. As the parent of three adopted children with complex medical, developmental, and behavioral needs, I also bring lived experience to the work I do. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, trauma-informed, and evidence-based. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, grief, caregiver stress, parenting challenges, or chronic illness, my goal is to help you build practical coping skills, increase resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe healing happens when people feel safe enough to be honest. I don't believe in perfect parenting, perfect relationships, or perfect mental health. I believe in showing up as your authentic self, even on the hardest days. As someone who has spent my career supporting families in crisis—and who also lives the realities of parenting children with complex needs—I know that resilience doesn't mean never struggling. It means continuing to move forward, one step at a time, even when life feels overwhelming. My role isn't to tell you how to live your life. It's to walk alongside you, help you make sense of your experiences, challenge unhelpful patterns, celebrate your progress, and remind you that you don't have to carry everything alone. Everyone deserves a place where they can exhale and be heard.
