I’m a Licensed Social Worker Associate Independent Clinical (LSWAIC). Since I have an associate license, I still receive supervision from a licensed provider. I’m originally from New York State but have also lived in Illinois and Kansas. I’m passionate about working with adolescents and providing treatments that are based on scientific research showing that it’s effective in treating the problem. I have many years of experience working with children, adolescents, young adults and families. I believe it’s important to involve parents in treatment while working with adolescents so that we can work as a team to meet goals while also allowing adolescents to take the lead in their treatment. I work with individuals ages 9-25 and their parents. I have training in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical-Behavior Therapy, Family Based Treatment for eating disorders, Exposure Therapy, Behavioral Parent Training and a strong passion working with adolescents, young adults and families. Diagnoses that I’ve worked with include but are not limited to: Anxiety Disorders, Depression/Mood Disorders, Adjustment, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), ADHD, eating disorders, emotional dysregulation and transitions. I also offer ADHD evaluations. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about treatment I provide or disorders that I treat!
