For close to 20 years, I have worked with children, adolescents, and families across schools, community organizations, and private practice. In addition to supporting kids of all kinds and the people who care for them, I specialize in working with neurodiverse individuals and those with learning differences. I believe that strong, respectful relationships are the foundation for meaningful change.

My style is direct and transparent; I ask questions, listen closely, and offer accessible, practical guidance. I meet parents where they are, helping them make sense of their child’s needs and scaffolding next steps into manageable chunks. I bring honesty, curiosity, and humor into the process, so families feel both supported and understood.

I love the work I do and feel privileged to collaborate with the folks who choose to work with me. In addition to my clinical work with children and families, I thoroughly enjoy working with social work students and clinicians at all stages of their careers.

Teaching and mentoring have become some of the most rewarding parts of my career. I have taught graduate courses in the Master of Social Work program at Smith College School for Social Work and continue to serve as a Practicum Faculty Advisor, supporting MSW students as they grow into thoughtful, confident clinicians.

Outside of my professional work, I can usually be found in the garden, knitting, exploring with my family, gathering with friends, or involved in community organizing and advocacy for a more just, equitable, and compassionate world.
