Licensed MFT associate specializing in child therapy, assessment, and evidence-based treatment for families.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Marriage and Family Therapy associate focused on providing trauma-informed, child-centered therapy and family interventions. I have practical experience assessing, treating, and tracking progress for children and families across school and community settings.
My clinical practice includes conducting assessments, writing DMH-standard progress notes, developing measurable treatment goals, and implementing play and behaviorally based interventions. I regularly participate in individual and group supervision to refine treatment plans and ensure effective outcomes.
Notable achievements include facilitating a 5-year-old's transition from selective mutism to speaking at school within four months and developing family interventions for clients referred by Child and Family Services. I have experience in ABA techniques, play therapy, and working with a range of emotional and behavioral disorders.
I earned a M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy (Summa Cum Laude) and a B.A. in Psychology (Magna Cum Laude). I am pursuing licensure (sitting for licensure in November 2025) and seeking roles that allow me to specialize in therapy for children and continue clinical development.
