As a school‑based licensed mental health therapist, I help children improve their mental health at school. I work closely with school staff and families to support each child’s mental health needs, especially for students who may have barriers to accessing therapy in the community.

I use a variety of approaches to engage children of all ages, including play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and somatic and expressive techniques. I believe it is important to consider the systems that affect a child’s life, and I focus on the connections between home, school, and community. My approach emphasizes relationships, collaboration, and supporting the whole child.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending as much time outdoors as possible—hiking, camping, exploring local farmers markets, or reading a good book in the sun.
