I’m a clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience treating a variety of emotional concerns. My clients appreciate my approach: authentic, warm, curious, active, and able to offer challenge when needed. I strive to use my sense of humor in work that is often heavy. I believe the “fit” between therapist and client is a crucial part of treatment success, and encourage you to give feedback on how things feel between us throughout our work together.

My specialties include young adults/college students, relationships of all kinds, anxiety, trauma, and workplace challenges. I have particular interest in couples therapy and sexuality, including issues of pelvic floor dysfunction/painful sex. I completed a two year postgraduate couples therapy training through the Psychodynamic Couple and Family Institute of New England, in addition to The Gottman Method Level 1 couples therapy training. I have also attended workshops on a variety of sexuality topics at the South Shore Sexual Health Center, the Institute for Sexuality Education and Englightenment and other training programs.

I have extensive experience working with the LGBTQIA+ community and am honored to support clients around sexual orientation, gender identity, and the coming out process.

In 2017 I completed a certificate in perinatal emotional complications (depression and anxiety during pregnancy and the postpartum period) and have enjoyed adding this specialty to my practice. I am thrilled to work with new parents who are getting their sea legs, and navigating the changes in their relationships that often result.

In 2019 I began offering EMDR treatment for trauma, and am pleased to see how effective it can be for symptom relief.

I’ve trained in a variety of addictions settings, and enjoy helping clients explore their relationships to substances including those who are not ready to make changes yet.
