I was born and raised just outside of Boston and knew from a young age that I wanted to be a therapist.

While completing my B.A. in Psychology, I was introduced to Social Work and immediately felt drawn to its holistic approach to mental health and emphasis on social justice.

After earning my Master’s degree, I spent several years working in the community. I practiced as an individual and family therapist at an integrated health clinic, provided services to adolescents involved in the juvenile justice system, and offered community-based care to adults experiencing homelessness. I later served as a lead therapist and clinical supervisor on a high-intensity treatment team.

The years I spent outside of a traditional therapy room live at the foundation of my work. They taught me to listen closely, move slowly, and trust clients as the experts in their own lives. They also shaped my commitment to providing therapy that feels human—grounded in a real relationship, not just clinical technique.

Today, I carry that same philosophy into my private practice. I work with individuals exploring identity, self-esteem, and experiences of trauma; and I especially enjoy supporting couples in building relationships that feel more secure, connected, and joyful. My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed, and I view symptoms less as “problems to fix” and more as meaningful adaptations that once helped people survive.

Outside of my clinical work, I spend as much time outdoors as possible—running, backpacking, biking, and skiing.  This past year, I developed a therapeutic running program for young women and non-binary folks. I hope to continue to expand the program and support participants in stepping beyond their comfort zone and engaging in nature and movement as part of their healing.
