About me
Through my experience as a therapist, I have learned that asking stimulating questions in a trusting, safe, non-judgmental space empowers people to process past experiences and understand how that history impacts relationships and decision making today. My approach to therapy is focused on a positive and collaborative therapeutic relationship and my belief that everyone has the ability to conquer their fears and overcome hardships.
I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Musical Theatre at Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri before obtaining a Masters in Drama Therapy from New York University. I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, as well as a Registered Drama Therapist. Additionally, I completed post-graduate training and master’s level certifications as a Child Life Specialist, and as a certified practitioner of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reciprocity) Therapy through EMDRIA.
I have experience working in the clinical hospital setting as well as in the NYC school system and private practice. I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques including psychodynamic, EMDR, CBT, relational therapy, and mindfulness practice. I am committed to acknowledging the experiences and needs of those who identify across all ethnic, gender/sexuality, and religious spectrums.
