I received my bachelor’s degree from The College of William and Mary where I researched body image improvement and eating disorder prevention in college-aged women. I obtained my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Behavioral Medicine from Boston University where I trained to work with adolescents and adults in IOP, PHP, residential, and inpatient programs. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
I love my job, and I look forward to helping you or your family. As a clinician I focus on emotional experiences and developing skills for a joyful life. I believe that it’s vital to look at the intersections of an individual’s identity to understand how they experience their body and move through the world.
Supporting mental health includes advocating for justice for minorities, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and fat and disabled people. I spend spare time and financial resources on decreasing food insecurity, advocating for increased access to mental health treatment, and decreasing the disparities in maternal health outcomes for BIPOC birthing people.
I live in Boston with my spouse, our child, and our dog. I find joy in spending time with all three of them, and fill my cup through lots of different crafts including knitting, spinning, and sewing. I love listening to podcasts, and frequently recommend them to friends, family, and clients alike.
