_________________________________________
I am an independently licensed clinical social worker providing telehealth psychotherapy to adults in Arizona, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Before entering private practice, I spent approximately eight years working across inpatient psychiatry, psychiatric admissions, community-based behavioral health, and academic medical settings. These experiences shaped my ability to understand both immediate concerns and the deeper emotional, relational, and systemic patterns affecting a person’s life.
I commonly work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship difficulties, identity concerns, and major life transitions. Many of my clients appear capable and responsible on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, self-critical, or caught in patterns that have followed them for years. My practice is affirming of LGBTQ+ clients and welcoming of people from varied backgrounds and life experiences.
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.
