I am a native Floridian and have lived in the Sarasota/Bradenton area for 30 years. I graduated from the University of South Florida with a bachelor's degree in Social Work along with my master's degree in Clinical Social Work. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida. I have worked in a variety of settings with children/adolescents including community mental health agencies, schools, youth shelters, domestic violence/rape crisis centers, and child advocacy centers. I specialize in trauma with extensive training in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. As a Window Between Worlds facilitator, I enjoy incorporating art expression and other creative interventions into treatment. I am also certified in the Circle of Security parenting model which allows me to help caregivers reflect upon children's attachment needs in order to promote secure attachment with their child.
