I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who graduated from University of Southern California in 2015. I currently primarily provide therapeutic support to children with a variety of emotional and social needs. I have experience working with children and families within the child welfare system as well as working with clients with a variety of needs and diagnoses in their schools, homes, communities, and inpatient settings. I have more than eight years of experience supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other developmental disabilities, as well as their families. I practice primarily using expressive arts, mindfulness-based, and dialectical behavioral therapy strategies. In my work with children, I am passionate about Child Centered Play Therapy and other play therapy modalities, as well as expressive arts techniques. I have seen firsthand the healing power of a relationship between a child and play therapist. I provide a warm and non-judgmental relationship where there is support, confidentiality, and trust. I help my clients to identify and work on goals that are their own, and believe that all people have an innate capacity for growth and healing.
