Curious about therapy with a former New York City actress? Here I am, having happily made my segue into being a therapist two decades ago. Many of the same strengths that made me successful in a creative field, such as communication, empathy, and authenticity, overlap surprisingly well with the necessary skills that make a good therapist. Whether you are reaching out to address anxiety, grief/loss, or tough life chapters for yourself or your child, it is essential to find the right therapeutic fit. That said, my approach is warm, sometimes goofy, empathic, and authentic.
My work primarily focuses on anxiety, mood disorders, and OCD with kids and adolescents. I draw from a variety of interventions, including Play Therapy, CBT, DBT-informed, and Exposure Response Prevention. In addition, my training in Smith College School for Social Work was focused on Psychodynamic Theory.
Human connection is much more than reading a bio or seeing a picture, so don't hesitate to reach out for a consult. Ask questions, share reasons for pursuing therapy, discuss goals, and mention what hasn't worked in the past. The key factor to success in therapy is the alliance between client and their therapist, so please feel free to test the waters!

Working with kids and families can cover a broad spectrum of challenges. No matter what the key reason for therapy, I will provide a safe, judgment-free space for you or your child to confidently share your story at the pace that you need. Will there be validation, authentic support, and opportunity to vent? Yes. Will there also be gentle nudges to work on tough things? Again, yes.
