​As a Limited-Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LLMSW):
I run a part-time private practice (Wednesdays and Fridays) where I see individual clients for therapeutic mental health supports. 

Things to consider:
  • I do not currently accept any insurance plans.
  • Sessions are $100 and payment is due at time of service.
  • I offer several spots on my caseload for sliding scale clients; these spots are currently full. 
My private practice is currently full and I am not accepting new therapy clients at this time. I am happy to provide referrals to trusted colleagues. I have limited space for Educational Consultation (see below).

As a Limited Licensed social worker (LLMSW), I am under weekly supervision by a fully Licensed Social Worker for two years/4000 hours to earn my full license (LMSW). I also receive support via bi-monthly group consultation for I-CBT and am under consultation as I work towards full Brainspotting certification.*

As a Certified School Psychologist (SSP):
I offer: 1) Educational Consultation to families and other clinicians, and 2) small group training to agencies and communities

I hope to support families who are navigating the general and special education world to:
  • review and understand current assessment data
  • increase knowledge and awareness of services that may support the needs of their child
  • acknowledge the deeply complex and valid emotions that can accompany disability discovery, educational eligibility, the difference between the two, and working with systems
  • increase knowledge around trauma-focused neuro-psychoeducation

I hope to support other clinicians whose background may not include general and special education supports to:
  • review and understand current assessment data, and how these results translate into multidisciplinary team (MET team) recommendations
  • increase knowledge around DSM and IDEA similarities and differences
  • other questions clinicians may have before/during/after communicating with schools and families seeking educational supports and services
  • increase knowledge around trauma-focused neuro-psychoeducation

As a community trainer, I offer small group trainings on:
  • special education eligibility and DSM diagnostic criteria: similarities/differences
  • Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
  • increase knowledge around trauma-focused neuro-psychoeducation​
