About me
I have over 5 years of experience working with clients who are feeling anxious, depressed, struggling with life changes, or have been feeling overwhelmed. I am passionate about supporting postpartum parents, recognizing that the transition into parenthood can be both beautiful and overwhelming. I currently work full-time at Mass General Brigham as a Complex Care Social Worker providing care for adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and complicated medical diagnoses.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT with clients to show how our thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected. Through activities like identifying negative thoughts and practicing positive responses, clients will learn new coping mechanisms to improve their emotional well-being and behavior.
Motivational Interviewing
I focus on listening, asking open questions, and supporting my clients to explore their feelings and goals. My goal is to help clients identify their reasons for change and strengthening their confidence to take action.
