Hello! I am an independently licensed social worker practicing in MA. I graduated from the University of South Florida with my Bachelor of Social Work in 2018 and went on to earn my Master of Social Work from Smith College. I currently work with folks experiencing a wide array of mental health concerns including depression, anxiety and non-suicidal self-injury.
During our first session, I will ask you some questions about why you are seeking therapy, how long your concerns have been going on, and what you are looking for in terms of support. Our first session will also be your opportunity to ask me questions about my experience and determine if you feel like I am the right fit for your needs. Together, we will make a treatment plan that is tailored to you and will be the guide for our work together.
Having eight years of experience in residential and crisis settings, not much rattles me. I can hold your emotional experiences without becoming overwhelmed or feeling like you are "too much." Additionally, while I take my work seriously, I have a sense of humor and am open to laughter during sessions when it is appropriate.
I love working with young adults who are learning to navigate their mental health. Many of my clients are neurodivergent, college students, and/or young professionals who are looking to create systems that work for them in their day-to-day life as well as learn practical coping skills to manage distressing situations. I also enjoying working with members of the LQBTQIA+ community.

I have trained extensively in the use of MI and often use it in my practice to help you identify your values and goals.
In graduate school, I learned many types of psychodynamic therapy and how to apply them while working with individuals. A psychodynamic approach seeks to get to "the root of the issue," so I may use this during session to help you understand how past experiences influence your current values and beliefs.
While I do not offer a full DBT protocol, I do often use aspects of DBT in my work including helping folks learn skills to increase emotional regulation and decrease distressing thoughts.
