Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and hold a MSW from Smith College. I am trained in psychodynamic therapy with 15 years of experience. I integrate elements from DBT, somatic sensorimotor psychotherapy and mindfulness practices into my approach. I specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and loss. I operate from a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive and social justice lens.

My approach to therapy

My style is non-judgmental, compassionate and client-centered. My work is collaborative, flexible and receptive to meet your unique needs. I believe that you are the expert in your own life.

What you can expect from me

After our first sessions, we will identify your needs and preferences. I offer brief psychodynamic treatment usually up to 12 sessions.
