I became a therapist because, from a young age, I experienced challenges that often left me feeling anxious and unsure of how to cope. I didn’t always have the emotional tools or understanding I needed, but through therapy, education, and self-care, I’ve learned how to show up for myself in healthy, meaningful ways—and I’m passionate about helping others do the same. I believe therapy is one of the best forms of “maintenance” we can give ourselves.

My approach is warm, light-hearted, and supportive, while also gently challenging you and holding you accountable to your intentions and goals. I use a strengths-based, person-centered approach to help you recognize and build on your natural strengths as we work toward the changes you want to see. I also draw from the core principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you better understand how your thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected and influence one another.

I was raised in Western Massachusetts but now live in New Hampshire and love it. My husband and I have a sweet and spunky daughter and a rescue dog named Link. 

I enjoy brunch, going for walks, binge-watching Netflix shows, and reading psychological thrillers. When not at home, my favorite place to be is the beach.
