I believe everyone deserves a supportive space to be seen and understood, no matter who you are or what you’re facing. My practice is rooted in the values of inclusivity, respect, and deep care for each person’s unique journey. If you’re struggling to navigate a difficult relationship or one of life’s many transitions, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy, curiosity, and hope.

I love learning and that passion for growth is a big part of why I’ve done this work for so long. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Smith College School for Social Work in 2004 and I’ve been privileged to work in public mental health and private practice since then.

My private practice began in 2009 and I continue to seek out both personal and professional growth so I can bring fresh perspectives and tools to my clients

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
