Accepting new clients

I’m a Licensed Social Worker who works with children navigating big feelings, social challenges, and the ups and downs of growing up. I believe that when children feel safe, understood, and supported, they can build the confidence and skills they need to thrive.

I have extensive experience in school settings, supporting students with emotional regulation, social skills, and behavioral challenges that can impact learning and relationships. I also work with children who struggle with attention and focus, intense emotions, sensory sensitivities, or high performance expectations. My experience in residential treatment strengthened my skills in supporting children with more complex emotional and behavioral needs.

I use play, games, and hands-on activities to help children practice new skills in a warm, engaging space. At Roots to Branches, my goal is to help children put down strong roots and grow with resilience, confidence, and hope.
