More about me: I am a Jersey girl through and through having completed my Bachelor's at Rowan University and graduate coursework at Monmouth University. Growing up I took to babysitting at a very young age, seeming to have a natural knack for calming babies and putting them at ease. Growing up with two parents in education, I knew I wanted to work with children though teaching was definitely not for me. Within the field of counseling I found the opportunity to blend these two preferences. I would also be remissed if I didn't give accolades to my own school counselors who helped me through my own hardships. Somehow always ending up in their offices for guidance allows me to recognize what a privilege and responsibility it is to have young people establish a positive relationship with counseling/therapy so that they can continue to see its efficacy and get help whenever needed over the course of their lifetime. 

    I am a proud "Boy Mom" of two wild noodles 🫠 Being in the throes of early parenthood motivated me to not only seek help for myself when struggling with postpartum depression and anxiety but to also recognize my passion for helping other new parents. I continuously work on expanding "my tribe" and prioritize training and certificaitons in this area.  I truly love working with women and partners in the early stages of pregnancy through the first year postpartum period. When the kids aren’t ruling my schedule and I’m not in session, I enjoy reading, working out (in theory, anyway), and FOOD! love a good beach read, dock and dine, and some wine with girlfriends. These are the things that help me stay balanced and show up for my sessions. Oh and sleep...because when has there ever been a parent that complains they have too much of that 😝.
