I am a graduate of Carleton College (BA, American Studies) and Washington University (MSW). Working as a Special School District social worker taught me to think on my feet, speak directly, act quickly if needed, and pivot when necessary. In 2013, I started my practice and became a registered play therapist in 2017. I am a longstanding member of both the National Association of Social Workers and the Association for Play Therapy and abide by their professional codes of ethics and best practices. My favorite part of my work is witnessing the bravery of children and families as they think, feel, and strive to make changes, large and small. Every day I see that therapy works and clinical social workers help people solve problems.
