The majority of her career has focused on children and adolescents, while over the past nine years she has worked primarily with adults and, in the last year, has provided therapy for couples.

Across more than two decades she has pursued ongoing training in therapeutic methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), solution-focused approaches, grief therapy, and additional trauma modalities beyond TF-CBT. Her most meaningful professional achievements involve helping clients of all ages strengthen coping skills, address obstacles early, gain better emotional regulation, and make empowered choices about their lives.
