I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering psychotherapy to residents of California and Massachusetts and other services to people nationwide. A native of Boston, MA, I have worked as a clinician based in both Los Angeles and the greater Boston area.

Since completing my graduate degree in social work, I was employed in a wide range of settings including hospitals, a homeless shelter, a therapeutic high-school, a county correctional facility, and, residential, partial-hospital, and outpatient levels of care.  Because of these opportunities, I now have expertise in working with clients living with a range of challenges and from a wide spectrum of lived experiences, who vary in age from early adolescence to later adulthood.

My areas of specialization include (but are not limited to) supporting clients who are living with and healing from trauma (including living under oppressive social systems and structures); grief and loss of all kinds; various types of addiction; persistent depression; difficulties in relationships; gender and sexuality; and, chronic illness.
