About me

Hello! I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges and foster personal growth. My approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, and tailored to meet your unique needs. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who graduated from Boston College in 2020 I bring a fresh and contemporary perspective to my practice. My professional journey has included valuable experience working in high-pressure emergency departments, inpatient psychiatry units, and behavior modification programs. This diverse background equips me with a deep understanding of crisis management, clinical assessment, and effective behavior intervention strategies.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The introduction meeting for therapy is our initial, confidential session where we get to know each other. You'll have the opportunity to share your concerns, and I'll explain my approach to therapy. This session is all about building trust and ensuring you're comfortable with me as your therapist. It's a safe, no-pressure space to discuss your goals and see if we're a good fit for working together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I'm an empathetic, non-judgmental therapist with strong listening and problem-solving skills. I adapt to your unique needs, maintain professional boundaries, and continually strive for personal growth. My compassionate and collaborative approach is dedicated to helping you navigate challenges and find emotional well-being.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

As a therapist I specialize in working with young adults, women, and individuals navigating significant life transitions. I am deeply passionate about understanding and supporting the unique needs and challenges that each of these groups faces. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and a deep commitment to helping individuals in these groups thrive during critical life phases.
