Our Staff

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) at Nourished Minds Counseling + Wellness, I specialize in treating adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and trauma.

I come from a background in outpatient mental health and have experience working with adolescents, adults, and families. I am also passionate about helping parents navigate their relationships with their children and build stronger connections.

I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Boston College with a focus on Children, Youth, and Families.

Before joining Nourished Minds, I worked at a community mental health agency providing individual therapy to adolescents and adults, as well as couples therapy and parent guidance.

Previously, I served as the clinical coordinator of a high school therapeutic milieu program, supporting students and families during the transition back to school following psychiatric hospitalization for issues including eating disorders, substance use, self-harm, and suicidality.

I’ve also provided therapy to undergraduates through a university counseling center and worked with school- and community-based outpatient programs serving diverse populations across the lifespan.

These roles have given me deep insight into how educational and social systems impact individuals and families.

My clinical approach is relational and client-centered. I incorporate evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), tailoring treatment to meet each client’s unique needs.

My background in narrative therapy also enriches my practice. I see myself as a collaborator, with my clients as the experts in their own lives. I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment where clients can explore their individual values and goals.

I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, eating disorders, OCD, trauma, substance use, identity development, and parenting challenges.

Many of the students and families I’ve supported have identified as LGBTQIA+, which deepened my commitment to providing an inclusive, affirming space for clients across all gender identities and sexual orientations.

I’ve worked with clients from varied cultural, socioeconomic, and gender-diverse backgrounds, and my clinical lens is shaped by an understanding of the systemic barriers people often face when navigating care and support.

My path to mental health care has been somewhat unconventional. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Visual and Environmental Studies and spent a year traveling in South America as a photojournalist. While there, my passion for exploring diverse cultures and the power of storytelling deepened. Immersing myself in local communities taught me to observe, respect, and stand alongside others—experiences that continue to shape the narrative, collaborative way I approach therapy.

Before returning to graduate school in mid-life, I worked in fields including photography, paralegal services, and developmental editing, and also had the privilege of raising two children. These experiences inform the openness, curiosity, and cultural appreciation I bring into every therapeutic interaction.
