Get to know me

Clinical Experience

With over ten years of experience in the mental health field, I have had the privilege of working with individuals across various settings. I am trained as a generalist, which means I have experience working with a range of people and clinical concerns. My background includes providing both individual and group therapy, conducting psychological assessments for children and adolescents, performing evaluations for court-involved youth, and consulting with schools and local law enforcement agencies.

I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults struggling with anxiety, stress, perfectionism, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD/executive dysfunction. I am particularly passionate about helping individuals navigate life transitions, develop strong communication and relationship skills, and build a positive sense of identity. Additionally, I enjoy working with athletes and high achievers, helping them manage stress, performance anxiety, and perfectionistic tendencies.

In my work with families, I often collaborate closely with parents to provide guidance and foster healthy communication between them and their children. I am also specially trained in delivering SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions)—an evidence-based intervention designed to support children and adolescents with anxiety and OCD.

Personal Life

I was born and raised in Massachusetts before relocating to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State in 2022. My journey has given me a deep understanding of the pressures many of my clients face, having personally experienced anxiety, perfectionism, and the challenges of balancing performance expectations and life transitions. As a former collegiate athlete dealing with injuries and a doctoral student in a competitive PhD program, I became passionate about exploring holistic health and wellness practices to manage stress and promote well-being. Over the years, I’ve found mindfulness and meditation, exercise, nutrition, and acupuncture to be particularly helpful in maintaining balance. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my partner, family, and friends, walking my dog and exploring the Pacific Northwest, watching sports (Go Celtics!) and reading.

Diversity Statement

I identify as a white, heterosexual, able-bodied, cisgender female. I recognize the importance of creating a safe and inclusive space for all individuals, regardless of their background or identity. I am committed to working with people of diverse cultures, races, ethnicities, religions, gender identities, sexual orientations, and experiences. I approach therapy with an open mind and a deep appreciation for the uniqueness of each individual. My goal is to support you in a way that honors and affirms your identity and experiences.
