Great to meet you!

I am an independently licensed social worker and have been practicing since 2011. I have an undergraduate degree from Ohio University, as well as a graduate degree from Simmons University, both in social work. I've worked in various settings, including community mental health, housing, and residential. Most recently, I’ve been particularly called to talk therapy.


I enjoy endurance sports, games like chess and backgammon, collecting records, and socializing with a great group of friends.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is creative and collaborative. I pull from different disciplines to meet your needs and assist you with making progress toward your goals. I'm always learning form my patients, and I strive to show up to every session with creativity, humor, and compassion. I aim to make the relationship between patient and myself real and honest. This is the bedrock of a productive therapeutic relationship which will foster in you the capacity for meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

I want you to leave sessions feeling both challenged and empowered. If we aren't thinking outside of the box, entertaining new ways of being in the world, and exploring patterns of behavior, then why are we here? Together, we will investigate how we relate to the world and to others, as well as how we relate to ourselves.
