Work HistoryI have been working in the therapy field since 2010, when I started as a group aide in social skills groups for children, teens, and adults on the autism spectrum. I started seeing my own clients in 2013 as part of my clinical internship during my master's program at Seton Hall University. Over the course of my clinical experience, I have worked as an in-home therapist, at a small town therapy clinic through my PhD program, at two community mental health centers, a Family Crisis Intervention Unit, and now in private practice. I specialize in providing relational and systemic therapy for individuals, intimate partners, & families who are in search of guidance and support through their life challenges. This may look like couples therapy, play therapy with young children, conflict resolution, working on communication, sibling work, or helping individuals navigate personal struggles. I am continuously receiving training and learning skills that will help my clients. I have worked with individuals on the autism spectrum for a number of years & have specific experience working with children, partners, & families, as well as LGBTQIA+, trans/NB, & CNM/poly clients. In addition to partner & family issues, I also work with individuals who are having difficulties managing stress, anxiety, depression, & other challenges.
