About: My goal is to support families and adolescents through challenging times. Drawing from both my personal experiences and professional background, I am well-equipped to work with troubled and at-risk youth. My approach combines empathy, passion, and resourcefulness, with a focus on using assessments and conversations to guide my practice. I believe in bringing a sense of calm and hope to families, and I am committed to persevering even when they feel hopeless. Together, we can navigate these difficulties and find a path forward.
