I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor, and Founder of TherapyInPlay / GATE in Metuchen, NJ. My primary focus is supporting other clinicians: providing clinical supervision for LACs working toward licensure, supervision for play therapists and RPT-track clinicians, and consultation for therapists using play therapy, gaming-informed therapy, and AutPlay-informed care. I also consult on autism, ADHD, neurodiversity, and complex child, teen, and family cases. My direct therapy availability is limited, and families seeking therapy are often best matched with a clinician on our team.
I supervise LACs and play therapists, and consult with clinicians using play therapy, gaming-informed therapy, AutPlay-informed care, and experiential approaches. Together we strengthen case conceptualization, family systems thinking, emotional regulation, and engagement with autism, ADHD, neurodiversity, and complex child and teen cases.
Finding the right fit matters, whether you are a clinician seeking supervision, a therapist navigating a complex case, or a family looking for specialized support. You are welcome to reach out to explore whether supervision, consultation, or a referral may be a good match. When direct therapy is the need, I can help route inquiries to our team.
