Hi! I recently relocated to Ridgefield, CT after working for nearly 20 years with kids from kindergarten to college while living in Los Angeles. I became a therapist after working in college admissions and watching amazing students struggle with their mental health. Chronic stress, anxiety, depression, perfectionism takes so much energy to manage - for kids and the entire family. Imagine if all of that energy and effort was redirected towards school, hobbies, sports, friends, and family time!
I provide short and long term therapy for kids and parents who need strategies to move through big feelings. I also offer Big Feelings Arts & Crafts Clubs for younger kids where we make art and practice specific skills for coping with big feelings. I also offer remote, virtual therapy for clients in California.
I integrate laughter, play, sensory arts and crafts, and my clients’ passions into our work because smiling, laughing, and having fun regulates. Therapy can be fun and uplifting, even when we are doing hard work.

Big Feelings Arts & Crafts Club
Kids don't always need therapy but they do need coping skills. Big Feelings Arts & Crafts Club is a weekly support group that brings young kids (Grades K-2 and 3-5) together to learn specific coping strategies while crafting. Each week, kids will make an art piece that they can take home to reinforce their new coping strategy. Please contact for current groups and times.
