I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 7 years of experience in various mental health settings. I am passionate about providing effective and competent care to support my clients in achieving their personal and clinical goals. I specialize in working with clients who struggle with traits of borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and concerns regarding sexuality and gender expression. I obtained my Master of Social Work from the University of Connecticut.

I have been intensively trained in foundational DBT, DBT prolonged exposure, and DBT for couples and families. Additionally, I am passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ community and use my lived experiences as a queer person to help those who also identify with the community.

I meet all of my clients with compassion and bring my genuine self to help them navigate the challenges that life presents. I am confident that I can guide my clients toward healthy change. I am here to support anyone looking to make positive changes for themselves, no matter what has happened in their past. I’m excited to start working with new clients.
