I have over 25 years’ experience and training in psychiatric rehabilitation sciences and approach therapy from a recovery model. I believe that with the right skills and supports people can do anything. I use a strengths-based approach; rather than focusing on diagnosis I focus on what the individual brings to therapy, what obstacles are present and the individual’s strengths. I work hard to facilitate a trusting relationship and create a non-judgmental space for my clients to grow and thrive. I utilize CBT, Relapse Prevention and Motivational Enhancement Therapy. I believe people are the expert in their recovery, and it is my job to help bring that expertise to the forefront of treatment.

I believe therapy should be a place where you do not have to edit yourself to be accepted. My work is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the understanding that people are more than a diagnosis or a collection of symptoms. I bring both professional experience and lived understanding to this work, including my background as a military veteran and my own experiences with grief, change, identity, and rebuilding.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker serving adults in Massachusetts, Maine, and Washington. My education and clinical training are grounded in social work, trauma-informed care, and whole-person approaches to emotional well-being. I am also continuing my education in behavioral health leadership and organizational psychology, with a particular interest in how our relationships, communities, identities, and environments influence healing.

I work primarily with LGBTQIA+ adults, veterans, men, and people whose identities, relationships, or life experiences have not always fit comfortably within traditional expectations. My treatment areas include trauma and shame, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, burnout, identity exploration, major life transitions, men’s mental health, military and veteran experiences, and religious or cultural shame. I also provide kink-affirming and polyamory/ethical non-monogamy-affirming care.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. There are credentials I could list and ways for you to assess why I am the right clinician for you, and while those things matter, what I find most true is this: I care deeply about this work.

Finding the right therapist is hard, and on behalf of all therapists, I'm sorry this is true. I won't promise a "safe space" for the people I work with, but I can promise an accountable one. I am committed to learning alongside you, knowing that we will teach each other what comes next. I will create the container for our work, and together, I hope to build a foundation of trust that allows you to heal, grow, challenge, accept, and integrate all that has brought you here.

Many people who come to see me are living with depression, overwhelmed with anxiety, or are processing and healing from past trauma. You might be going through a major life transition or find your usual ways of coping are no longer working. You might feel stuck, uncertain, and disconnected from yourself. Investing in therapy can be difficult when there are so many other things that demand your attention. My role is to help you explore what is important to you, what is getting in the way, and make realistic, actionable steps towards your goals.

Disclaimer: My current role as an Access Clinician at Harvard University Health Services allows me to work with folx from all walks of life. I hold a small caseload in my private practice to focus on my clinical interests. Due to my role, I do not see any actively enrolled Harvard students in my private practice. However, this means you can see me at CAMHS for short-term counseling.
