Supporting Adolescents, Families, and the Systems That Serve Them

Providing individual and family support alongside consulting for schools, districts, and youth-serving organizations in adolescent mental health, substance use prevention and intervention, and adolescent whole wellbeing.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Addictions Counselor specializing in adolescent mental health, substance use prevention and intervention, and system-wide approaches to youth wellness.

In my clinical work, I support adolescents and families navigating anxiety, stress, substance use concerns, and the complex realities of growing up today. I work alongside young people and their caregivers to build insight, strengthen relationships, and develop the skills needed for lasting growth and change.

Alongside this direct work, I partner with schools, districts, counties, and youth-serving organizations to design and implement coordinated, sustainable systems that improve outcomes for young people.

My work sits at the intersection of clinical practice, prevention science, and systems design, bringing deep expertise in substance use prevention and intervention while supporting the broader landscape of adolescent mental health and social-emotional well-being. With experience leading large-scale youth programs at the district, county, and federal levels, I understand not only how to support individuals, but how to build systems that sustain that support over time.

  • Individuals & Families

    I provide support for adolescents and families navigating the complexities of mental health, substance use, and other addictive behaviors, including the impact of technology and digital environments. My approach is collaborative and relationship-centered, helping young people build insight, develop practical skills, and strengthen their ability to manage emotions, make healthy decisions, and navigate stress. I work closely with families to improve communication, increase understanding, and create a supportive environment that fosters lasting growth and change.

  • School, District & Organizational Consulting

    I partner with schools, districts, and youth-serving organizations to design and strengthen coordinated, sustainable approaches to adolescent mental health, substance use, and other high-risk and addictive behaviors, including the growing impact of technology and digital environments. My work focuses on building aligned systems of prevention, early intervention, and response—helping organizations move beyond isolated efforts to create clear, effective, and developmentally appropriate supports for young people while strengthening capacity across staff and systems.
