Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

"I pride myself in building strong relationships with my clients and understanding where they are in life and how to help them get where they want to be."

I started at Lakeview in April of 2022. I am currently a full time school social worker with over 23 years of experience in that role. Although I love being a school social worker, my ultimate goal was to do private practice after my own children were grown — and I am loving every minute of it!

I specialize in youth and teens. I began my work with youth in a group home setting, supporting young people who had experienced trauma in their environment, before transitioning to the role of school social worker.

My passion is treating children and adolescents who are experiencing anxiety, social pressure, depression, attention difficulties, emotional dysregulation and low self confidence. I pride myself in building strong relationships with my clients and understanding where they are in life and how to help them get where they want to be.

When I'm not working, I love to hang out with my family and enjoy vacations that involve camping and the outdoors. Some say I'm a bit obsessed with Disney and the Chicago Cubs!
