Social Worker
Hello and welcome–
I’m a queer, white, working class, 1st generation college graduate, with a love of exploring the unknown.
I’ve lived in many worlds, from being home-schooled in rural NH, getting an art degree in Southern California, working in Boston public health for 9 years, to attaining my MSW from Smith College School of Social Work in 2026.
I’ve worked in childcare, restaurants, Department of Mental Health group homes, in-home family therapy, and individual college counselling, and many other settings. Each role is a part of my education in relational healing and resilience in hard times.
My ever-growing theoretical influences include Self-Psychology and Object Relations, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Internal Family Systems, CBT, and trauma-informed approaches. I lean on expressive therapies (especially incorporating movement, music, and visual art) and somatics to connect with emotions and the unconscious.
The pain of the moment is real, and must be listened to. Leaning on our internal wisdom, community wisdom, and ancestral wisdom will light a path through the pain. I look forward to discovering your path with you.
