I believe that the most profound healing happens when we feel truly seen as a whole human being. My journey to becoming a therapist started at the intersection of art and advocacy. After earning my degree in Music Therapy from Berklee College of Music, I realized that words are often the last thing to arrive when we are hurting. This led me to Columbia University for my Clinical Social Work degree, where I learned to bridge the gap between creative expression and deep emotional support.

I spent two formative years at Crisis Text Line, where I sat (virtually) with children, adolescents, and families in their heaviest moments—suicidality, bullying, and the “big” crises that feel impossible to navigate alone. These experiences taught me that no problem is too small and that every person deserves a soft place to land.

I’m not a “sit on the couch and just talk” kind of therapist. I lead with a mix of empathy, creativity, and a deep respect for how your brain works. I understand that no two people respond to therapy the same way. That’s why I exercise a lot of flexibility in our work together.

In my room, therapy might look like a traditional conversation, or it might look like picking up an instrument. As a Board-Certified Music Therapist, I use music to help foster growth and coping skills for all ages, especially when words feel out of reach. For my younger clients, I incorporate play and a neurorelational lens to meet them exactly where they are developmentally.

My approach is gentle and honest. I work to empower you (or your child) to feel safe, capable, and guided. Whether we are navigating a crisis or simply trying to understand a “stuck” feeling, I’m here to help you find your own rhythm again and believe in your capacity to heal.
