I am a licensed clinical social worker and a registered play therapist. I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from New York University with a focus on clinical practice with children and families. Since that time, I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings providing treatment to a diverse population of children, teens, families, and adults.

As a registered play therapist, I have specialized training in treating children from ages 3 and up using directive and non-directive techniques. I have also completed Postpartum Support International’s course on perinatal mental health and often work with parents coping with highs and lows of caregiving.

I am passionate about providing therapy to people of all ages and working together to help them find hope and healing. I find it one of the privileges of my life to walk with people as they navigate some of life’s hardest journeys.
