I work with children, adolescents, parents, and adult individuals. My approach is attachment-based, trauma-focused, and relational. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where each person feels heard and 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 tailor my approach to each family’s unique needs, combining play therapy, talk therapy, 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—I know the struggles firsthand. My work with adults includes helping clients navigate life transitions, process complex emotions, heal from trauma, and cultivate self-awareness and growth. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in musical theatre; this rich creative background continues to
bring imagination, playfulness, and flexibility into the therapeutic process. I earned my MSW from Rutgers University, graduating with honors. I am also trained in Play Therapy and as a Postpartum Doula. Currently, I am training in the Safe and Sound Protocol so that I can offer this valuable tool to clients.
