My therapeutic practice is rooted in relational psychodynamic theory, trauma-informed approaches, and mindfulness-based interventions, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I foster a collaborative approach with clients anchored in anti-oppressive practice, using warmth and curiosity to co-construct a supportive environment to explore therapeutic goals and lived experiences. I have worked with clients in a variety of settings including college mental health, outpatient hospital clinics, and community-based organizations.
I provide psychotherapy to adults of all ages and specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, identity exploration, somatic/body-mind symptoms, relationship issues, and college transitions. I also have experience working with first generation and international college students.
I completed a postgraduate fellowship in psychodynamic psychotherapy at Cambridge Health Alliance, and have engaged in graduate and postgraduate research on topics including attachment, decolonizing social work, and immigrant experiences within mental health systems. I am an artist and enjoy working with those interested in creative practices.
