Therapeutic Style
My style is warm, straightforward, and engaged. Sessions feel conversational, but they’re not unstructured—we take a step back, get specific, and focus on what’s actually happening in your life. Humor is welcome when it fits, and we still take the work seriously. I’m kind and gentle, and I’ll also be honest about what I’m noticing, especially when overthinking or avoidance is keeping you stuck. The goal is to leave sessions with more clarity and concrete next steps.
What Makes Me Unique
I bring a blend of clinical depth and real-world practicality. With a background in school and college counseling and leadership/organizational development, I’m especially attuned to performance pressure, decision fatigue, and how stress shows up in relationships. Within Curated Therapy Collective, I prioritize clear, timely communication and collaborative coordination with referring clinicians to support client-centered care.
Get to Know Me
Outside of work, I’m happiest outdoors or traveling with a great coffee in hand and Piper, my goldendoodle, right alongside me.
Growing up, my dream jobs were a café owner, the first woman to play for the New York Yankees, and to be an archaeologist like Indiana Jones.

How to Start Advocating for Your Child at Any Age or Stage
Whether your baby was born early or full-term, parenting is a constant process of discovery. Even now, six years after I gave birth to my daughter, I tell her, “Sweetie, you and mommy are both learning on the job.” Some children hit their milestones effortlessly. Others need a little (or a lot) of extra support along the way. What matters most isn’t where your child starts; it’s how you respond when they need someone in their corner. Whether you’re navigating challenges now or simply want to feel more confident supporting your child in the future, this blog is for you. Advocating for your child isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about being prepared to ask questions, trust your instincts, and show up in ways that will help your child flourish.
