I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and families. From the very beginning of my career, I’ve been passionate about helping young people feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow.

After completing my Bachelor’s degree at Marist College, I began my journey as a caseworker in the foster care system. It was during that time that I recognized how vital accessible mental health care is for children, which inspired me to pursue my Master’s in Social Work at Adelphi University. For the next two decades, I worked closely with children and families of all backgrounds, collaborating with schools, pediatricians, Family Court, and the Department of Social Services to ensure that each child received the care and advocacy they deserved. In 2020, I partnered with Da Vinci Collaborative and later founded Da Vinci Therapy Services, where I continue this meaningful work today.

My therapeutic style is flexible and collaborative. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Play Therapy, Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, and Mindfulness practices, always tailoring my approach to fit the unique needs of each child or family.

I specialize in helping clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, family conflict, social skill struggles, and trauma. Just as importantly, I work alongside parents to build positive, practical tools for supporting their children’s emotional and behavioral well-being.

At the heart of my practice is the belief that every child and family deserves a safe, supportive space to be heard, to heal, and to thrive.
