About Me
I’m a Boston area therapist specializing in EMDR, anxiety, trauma, and emotion regulation. I work with adults who are often thoughtful, capable, and high-functioning, but still find themselves stuck in patterns of anxiety, self-criticism, people-pleasing, shame, or difficult relationship dynamics. My style is warm, direct, active, and down-to-earth. I want therapy to feel both supportive and useful - a place where you can better understand what’s keeping you stuck and actually work toward changing it.
Education & Experience
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with advanced training in EMDR therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I am a DBT-Linehan Board of Certification Certified Clinician™ and previously taught DBT at Boston College School of Social Work. My clinical experience includes outpatient, residential, and intensive treatment settings, including McLean Hospital’s 3East DBT programs. I provide in-person therapy in Natick and telehealth throughout Massachusetts.In addition to my clinical work, I am also an Adjunct Faculty for Boston College School of Social Work. I received a B.A. from Wheaton College and a Master of Arts in Social Work from Boston University.
