About Me

My interest in midlife transitions and healthy aging arose during my time at Harvard University Health Services providing therapy for the faculty and staff. When Harvard implemented a voluntary early retirement program in 2020, I saw the need for more resources and support for those making the transition from working life to retirement. So drawing from my experience in geriatric psychiatry and immersing myself in research, I facilitated and developed a curriculum for a six-week retirement support group. I am now adapting this curriculum to offer short-term personalized therapy to individuals.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 24 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I have worked with diverse populations in a variety of settings including hospitals, community mental health, and digital health. I have provided therapy services for a wide range of professionals in Higher Education, Big Tech, and Fortune 500 companies. As a lifelong learner, I earned a graduate certificate in Organizational Behavior at the Harvard Extension School in 2021 which I incorporate into my work with clients. I also teach at Boston College as an adjunct faculty member focusing on mental health and mental illness.

In my life outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three children (two in college and one in high school). I like to read, travel, and capture moments through photography. I’m always ready to learn and try new things!

My Approach

I seek to create a warm, supportive, and culturally sensitive therapeutic space, grounded in compassion and empathy. I will personalize your care according to your needs and values, while drawing from a variety of evidence-based treatment approaches such as CBT, ACT, and mindfulness practices. I am a general practitioner with clinical interests that include anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress management, grief, interpersonal relationships, and spirituality. I seek to partner with my clients, emphasizing collaboration and empowerment to bring awareness to your strengths and build on them toward healing and growth.

I look forward to coming alongside you on your journey!
