Therapy can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. I view therapy as an intentional and protected space to reengage with oneself, cultivate understanding, and move toward growth. I value work that allows for reflection, curiosity, and learning how to tolerate the ambiguity around the challenges and joys we face during our lifetimes. My goal is to provide structure in moments that feel more chaotic, uncertain, or disconnected, as well as how to lean into moments of
peace and joy.
I was born and raised in South Carolina and moved to New England and New York after college. I have a unique understanding of navigating these strikingly different, and sometimes
antithetical, cultures, including their dominant religions and politics. If you are in the midst of navigating these sensitive transitions or have religious experiences you would benefit from processing, I can be someone who will remain objective, non-judgmental, and curious with you as you navigate these important parts of your identity. My goal is not to convince you of how to proceed with your relationship to your religion and/or culture, but to help you more clearly hear your own voice so that you may choose to move forward with what is authentic to who you are and who you hope to become.
My approach incorporates training from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic therapy. My specialty with religion includes Fundamentalist Christianity, Evangelical Christianity, and the International Churches of Christ. If you are finding the need for a space to recenter and realign with yourself, I can work with you to find our shared language that promotes that necessary healing.

"I will never have this version of me again. Let me slow down and be with her. "
I received my Master of Social Work from Boston University, where I received specialized training and certifications in working with older adults through the aging process. I previously worked at a hospice and palliative care agency in Rhode Island, specializing in support for older adults in long-term care settings with various types of dementia (Alzheimer’s, Lewy Body, and Vascular) and other terminal diagnoses, as well as caregiver support for their families.
I most recently worked at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center where I provided counseling and support for patients and their caregivers living with blood cancers, chronic illness, and adjusting to survivorship post-treatment. I facilitated a monthly support group for our nursing staff and assisted with running our Bereavement program and loss-specific groups. I specialize in maintaining personhood and quality of life through these significant life transitions.
