Life at any stage comes with challenges, but the challenges adolescents are facing are unique and complex. Between spending the last two years in a pandemic and growing up in the time of social media, many kids and teens are experiencing extreme anxiety, worry, and fear.
Through my social work practice, my goal is to help adolescents feel supported, heard, and a little less alone as they overcome obstacles. I am passionate about helping kids and teens find their ground and feel comfortable in their own skin. I specialize in working with adolescent girls and boys, focusing on self-esteem building and addressing body image issues. My passion for working with kids and teens began many years ago when I was a counselor and supervisor at overnight camp. Working at camp is where I learned that each child has the opportunity to reach their fullest potential when they are given the tools that help meet their emotional and behavioral needs. This experience ultimately leads me to my career in social work!
In addition to the clinical work I do at the practice and in an effort to break the stigma surrounding mental health, I am one of the faces behind Therapyology’s social media pages. We use Instagram and Tiktok to share resources and psychoeducational posts with our community and beyond. We invite you to follow along!
I received my bachelor’s degree in Psychology and minor in Leadership of Organizations and Jewish Studies from Michigan State University. Shortly after, I received my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Michigan, with a focus on Interpersonal Practice and Mental Health. While earning my MSW, I completed my Practicum at Therapyology and am so excited to officially be a part of the team as a clinician.
