About Me:
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist Supervisor with the role of Clinical Supervisor for the Incredible Years and Early Childhood team. I have been providing comprehensive clinical diagnostic assessment, treatment planning, and evidence based individual, family, and group therapy to children and families for 24 years, with over 18 years at Diversus Health. In addition to providing outpatient clinical services to children ages 0-8 years, I provide supervision and coaching to clinicians involved in clinical school-based programming to help sustain and expand various community programs. My passion is prevention services and providing the internationally acclaimed Incredible Years Programs to Pre-school and Kindergarten aged children is the most rewarding part of my job. Supporting the development of social-emotional skills in early childhood allows me to make a life-long impact on their overall emotional wellness and academic success. Outside of work, I am an avid reader, hiker, and enjoy all things nature including my jungle of houseplants and flower/vegetable gardens. I was a competitive swimmer and I still swim over a mile at least 5-6 days a week as part of my self-care.
