I believe that feeling understood is an important part of meaningful therapy.

My approach is warm, curious, and collaborative. I work beyond symptoms alone. While finding relief from distress is important, I’m also interested in understanding what’s underneath it.

Training and Experience

I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than 10 years experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families across a range of clinical settings. Some of my experiences include working with children and teens in a partial hospitalization program, intensive in-home family therapy with youth, and clinical work in schools.

I earned my MSW from Smith College School for Social Work and have completed additional training in psychodynamic psychotherapy at Western New England Institute for Psychoanalysis. I’ve also trained in using attachment-focused and mentalization- based approaches, including Mentalization-Based Treatment for Adolescents (MBT-A).

In addition to private practice, I am an adjunct faculty member at the University of Connecticut School of Social work, where I teach advanced clinical practice. I also supervise MSW students in their internships in the New Haven community.
