I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working with children and families. My clinical work primarily focuses on both women in the reproductive stages (trying to conceive through postpartum), and parents with their children working to strengthen relationships and improve child behaviors. As a mother myself, I know how deeply important it is to take care of ourselves as individuals, and how important it is to foster that deep connection with our children. 

Prior to my work in private practice, I worked as a social worker at Children’s Mercy Hospital supporting children and their families going through significant life traumas. I received my Masters in Social Work at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. After becoming clinically licensed, I completed additional training to become certified in both Parent-Child Interaction Therapy through PCIT International, and Perinatal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International. I have attended ongoing training held by Karen Kleiman at the Postpartum Stress Center, Meeka Centimano at Centimano Counseling, Mara Tesler Stein with Touchstone Institute, as well as several training opportunities through PSI and other specialists in the field of maternal mental health. 

Outside of the office, I spend time with my husband, three beautiful children, and our three dogs.

I have spent over the last decade of my life supporting families through some of the most difficult life experiences. I have witnessed the utmost strength there is to see in my clients, held space for the deep grief that many have gone through, and celebrated the wins of those that doubted they would ever come. When I say I love my job, I truly love my job! My relationship with my clients is so important to me; I feel so grateful each time a client walks in my office, trusting me with some of the most sacred and valuable information to them. In my office, you are never alone! This is your space to “make a mess” and know that I will help you sort it out.  You matter. You are worthy of happiness. You deserve healing.
