I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Registered Dance/Movement Therapist. I specialize in generalized anxiety, depression, self-harm behaviors, attachment & trust, stress, life transitions, grief, relational challenges, systemic trauma, and desires for self-growth and change. I have extensive experience in various levels of care including adolescent residential care, emergency crisis response, partial hospitalization programs, and psychiatric inpatient care. I care for clients ranging from children, adolescents, to young adults and focus on creating a comfortable and playful therapeutic environment regardless of age. 

I received a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Dance/Movement Therapy from Lesley University, as well as a Bachelor of the Arts from Kennesaw State University. I have received specialized training in motivational interviewing, LGBTQIA+ advocacy, disordered eating behaviors, support for those with intellectual disabilities and problematic sexual behaviors, and SMARTmoves. I am also trained in the ARC framework which focuses on processing patterns of attachment, gaining emotional regulation skills, and competency building in relation to self-identity. 

I focus on combining the arts and therapeutic techniques to best support my clients. I foster therapeutic relationships through a person-centered approach. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy-based techniques to support clients in building therapeutic skills, and Expressive Arts Therapy interventions to explore the roots and impacts of one's life experiences. I utilize trauma-informed practices to build trust with my clients and hold space for individuals to connect with their inner child without fear of judgement.

If we begin working together, you will hear about my black cat Po’boy (who is actually a girl). I love dancing professionally with my local Boston contemporary company. In my free time, I enjoy reading poetry, going on walks, spending time with friends, and trying new recipes at home. Feel free to share your favorite songs with me! I love listening to all kinds of music, especially Taylor Swift.
