Great to meet you!

I’m a neurodiverse and LGBTQIA+ aligned clinician who specializes in working with adolescent and young adult populations. I have experience working in both traditional outpatient and partial hospitalization settings and am adept at working with a range of clinical presentations including Major Depressive Disorder, Anxiety, PTSD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, OCD, and non-suicidal self injury (NSSI). I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in the state of RI and graduated from Boston University in 2024 with my Master of Clinical Social Work (MSW).

My approach to therapy

You can expect a warm and welcoming environment when meeting with me. I strive to help my clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves and work with them to identify a path towards improved wellbeing. I take a creative and individualized approach and can offer more structured sessions or we can keep things more free-flowing. I draw mostly from DBT, ACT, and CBT-oriented treatment modalities and also frequently implement creative interventions.

What you can expect from me

In our rst session, we'll go at your pace. I'll ask about what's been going on for

you lately, your history, and what's brought you to therapy now, and there's no pressure to share more than feels comfortable on day one. By the end of that rst conversation, we'll have a shared sense of what you want out of this and a loose plan for how we'll get there together. Many clients tell me it feels less like an interview and more like nally being heard.
