I’ve always been deeply moved by the healing power of listening. I see language as a doorway to healing, and therapeutic conversation as a collaborative, relational process that helps transform lived experience into wisdom and open space for new growth.

I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Southern California and a master’s degree in clinical social work from the Smith College School for Social Work. Before completing my graduate training, I lived in Australia, where I worked in a residential program for adults recovering from acute episodes of mental illness. It was during this time—and while volunteering with Lifeline, Australia’s national crisis and suicide hotline—that I found my path in becoming a therapist.

My clinical training includes post-graduate study in narrative therapy through the Evanston yearlong program, completion of EMDR Levels I and II with The Creative Mindfulness Institute, and additional training in modalities such as Exposure and Response Prevention and memory reconsolidation. My clinical interests include working with ADHD, anxiety, and chronic guilt and shame, and I am especially drawn to helping people understand these experiences in ways that are compassionate, non-pathologizing, and supportive of lasting change.

Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy being a mom, painting, and going on adventures in New York City and beyond.
