I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience providing mental health therapy in Moscow, Idaho.
I focus on serving children and their parents/caregivers by offering both individual and family sessions.
I utilize play, art, and facilitated communication in an environment of unconditional positive regard to improve relationships and increase feelings of self worth.
I am LGBTQ+ allied and neurodivergent affirming.
