I am a drama therapist who loves working with clients navigating their struggles and growth. I want to help clients to better understand their emotions, develop healthier interpersonal relationships, and set meaningful goals that feel fulfilling. Drama therapy emphasizes creating safe, non-judgmental spaces where clients feel truly heard and seen, fostering an environment for productive self-exploration. I understand progress takes time, and I am here to provide ongoing support as you work toward a more balanced life. I am a strong listener. If you’re ready to start your journey toward healing, let's schedule a session.
As a trauma-informed drama therapist, I use storytelling, metaphor, role play and embodiment techniques in a co-created therapeutic space that is centered on your needs and affirming of who you are. My work is collaborative, respectful and tailored to your unique objectives, providing a safe environment where healing and positive change can unfold naturally.
I have a masters degree in Drama Therapy from New York University and a bachelors degree in Theatre from Manhattanville University. During my time in grad school, I worked with domestic violence survivors, adults with ID/DD, fellow therapists, and survivors of 9/11. And I’d be honored to support you—reach out, and let’s walk together through your story.

I work with clients living with anxiety, trouble in relationships and with self-esteem struggles. My main approach is human first: trying to work with any client to build a life that looks and feels familiar as well as sustainable. I am a brave space to explore growth and the discomfort that inevitably comes with it on the road to a new lifestyle. I use art and drama to support this method.
