My Background

I am a Licensed Social Worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work from Boston University and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Marquette University. My path to becoming a therapist was deeply influenced by my journey with mental health as a young adult. Navigating life transitions and the complexities of mental health helped me realize the power of therapy, and I became passionate about supporting others in their journey. Working in private practices in the past has allowed me to build upon my strengths and abilities which is something I prioritize with clients.

I enjoy working with adults, young adults, and couples navigating life transitions, trauma, and relational challenges. I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and those looking to gain insight into their past to better understand their present. My therapeutic approach is relational and client-centered taking influence from Psychodynamic and Trauma Informed modalities. While not my main focus, I enjoy utilizing aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as additional support for clients. I have found that they can provide digestible and tangible skills for daily life alongside our deeper work.

Cultivating a strong therapeutic relationship with clients is a necessary foundation for therapy, which is why I aim to provide a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative space. My goal is for you to feel comfortable exploring your feelings and experiences at your own pace as we progress toward your goals together.

I recharge outside of the office by enjoying a hot Pilates class with my favorite instructor, reading a psychological thriller, baking for friends and family, or embarking on my self-taught watercolor painting journey. I value the importance of balance and self-care in life and look forward to assisting my clients in incorporating it into their lives.
