Focus Areas: Eating Disorders. Strengths: My strengths as a therapist include building authentic and supportive relationships where individuals feel safe, empowered, and understood. I bring warmth, curiosity, and a collaborative approach that allows individuals to explore challenges while fostering resilience and self-growth. Inspiration: I was inspired to become a therapist after my experience providing one-on-one and group counseling to 6th-8th graders while pursuing my MSW. I find it energizing to watch individuals grow in confidence and self-understanding, while supporting them through such a formative time. Experience with Families: I have experience working with families in both inpatient and community settings.

Focus Areas: Trauma. Strengths: My strengths include building authentic, trusting relationships, approaching therapy from an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed lens, and aiding in co-regulation during activated moments or crises. Inspiration: I became a therapist because I believe deeply in the healing power of relationships and community wanted to learn from and work with people working to repair their relationships with themselves and with others. Experience with Families: My specialized focus in and after grad school involved working with couples and families in navigating trauma, identity, and relational challenges. I have worked with families at the LGBT Center, Callen Lorde Community Health Center, and at CASES.
