I work with clients who are ready to try something different — or who've tried talk therapy before and felt like something was still stuck.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, eating concerns, and emotional regulation. I'm trained in EMDR, which is particularly effective for trauma and PTSD — it helps process difficult memories in a way that doesn't require you to re-live every detail out loud. For clients who connect better through creativity than conversation, I also offer art therapy as part of our work together.

I work with adolescents and adults across Western Massachusetts via telehealth, with some of the most flexible scheduling in the area — mornings, evenings, and weekends available.

I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a Master of Social Work from Boston College and more than a decade of experience in behavioral health. My background includes individual and group psychotherapy, clinical leadership, and work across outpatient, hospital-based, and substance use treatment settings.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use and recovery, trauma, relationship and family challenges, and major life transitions. I have particular experience helping people understand the connections between emotional well-being, relationships, and patterns of behavior.

I bring warmth, curiosity, compassion, and a straightforward approach to our work together. I believe meaningful change begins with connection, trust, and feeling genuinely understood.

I know starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve felt misunderstood in the past.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in behavioral health, and I hold a Doctor of Social Work (DSW). I specialize in childhood trauma, anxiety, burnout, and working with neurodivergent individuals, including ADHD and autism. I often support people who feel overwhelmed, stuck in survival mode, or exhausted from masking and holding everything together on their own.

My style is warm and down to earth, and I focus on meeting you where you are in each session. Therapy with me is collaborative and flexible, shaped around what works best for you. My goal is to offer a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as you work toward meaningful change.
