I am a Therapeutic Foster Care Clinician with Sagewell Family Services located in Western New York, providing trauma-informed clinical support to children and youth, caregivers, parents, and families involved in the foster care system. My professional interests include complex trauma, TF-CBT, attachment, resilience, caregiver support, strength-based approaches, gardening and mindfulness, and strengthening trauma-informed practices across family services and mental health settings. I also provide training, consultation, and community education related to trauma-informed care and co-host The Small Town Social Workers podcast (available on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Amazon Music, Goodpods, & Glenora Radio Network), which focuses on social work, child welfare, mental health, and practical support for families and professionals.
