I work with children, adolescents, parents, and adult individuals. Myapproach is attachment-based, trauma-focused, and relational. I strive tocreate a safe and supportive environment where each person feels heardand valued.

I’m experienced in working with families facing a wide range of challenges,including children who are acting out or struggling with anxiety, aggression,attachment injuries and other traumas, OCD, or neurodivergence. I tailormy approach to each family’s unique needs, combining play therapy, talktherapy, and family-centered strategies.

It can be so hard when your child’s big, bewildering behaviors take over,disrupting the flow of family life. As a mom myself, I truly empathize—Iknow the struggles firsthand.

My work with adults includes helping clients navigate life transitions,process complex emotions, heal from trauma, and cultivate self-awarenessand growth.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in musical theatre; this rich creativebackground continues to inform my work. My creative side allows me tobring imagination, playfulness, and flexibility into the therapeutic process.

I earned my MSW from Rutgers University, graduating with honors. I amalso trained in Play Therapy and as a Postpartum Doula. Currently, I amtraining in the Safe and Sound Protocol so that I can offer this valuable toolto clients.
