Hello! I am a junior at NYU studying Applied Psychology with a concentration in Child & Adolescent Mental Health. As an emerging children's mental health professional, I have several years of professional childcare experience in various settings – from counseling in intensive therapeutic clinics, to teaching in preschool classrooms, to conducting infancy research in the lab, to coaching youth theatre groups, to freelance babysitting, I am equipped with the knowledge and skills to ensure that your family will receive the highest quality of care. I look forward to creating a safe, gentle, and FUN experience for your child! I have extensive experience with kids with neurodevelopmental and/or mental health conditions, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Anxiety Disorder, Selective Mutism, ADHD, PTSD, and more.
