I'm a Massachusetts LICSW who works with people who've had to be strong for a long time - youth, neurodivergent adults, LGBTQIA+ folks, parents, and people navigating anxiety, grief, burnout, trauma, poverty or substance use. I bring lived experience to this work, not just credentials. I'm direct, warm, and genuinely invested in the people I work with. I do telehealth, which means sessions are on your schedule, in your space, no commute required.

Hi folks,
The picture you see above is what you get. I am a middle aged, white, lesbian, with experience in parenting and caretaking.
I am deeply committed to studying and practicing anti-racism, and recognize the limitations of my demographic point of view.
With a background in working with children and adults dealing with the stress of family separation, I have experience with acute mental health challenges, substance use disorders, and trauma. I am working with adults at this time.
