Therapist Overview
I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in working with children and adolescents. I am trained in play therapy modalities, EMDR, and sandplay and use these modalities in my work with children and adolescents. I am currently training in synergetic play therapy which is a research informed play therapy model blending together the most current neuroscience, attachment/attunement, therapist authenticity, emotional congruence, physics, nervous system regulation, and mindfulness. I graduated with an undergraduate degree from Monmouth University with a dual specialization in special education/elementary education and then pursued my masters in social work (MSW) from Rutgers University, graduating in 2011. I have experience working in a variety of mental health settings, including hospitals, schools, and social service agencies.
