I work best with moms who are hard on themselves — and kids who are harder on themselves.

There's a particular kind of exhaustion that comes with caring deeply — for your kids, for your family, for everyone around you — while quietly running on empty yourself. I've spent 15 years working with moms and children who are doing their best in circumstances that ask a lot. My job is to make sure someone is finally paying attention to them.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with a specialty in therapy for moms — including perinatal and postpartum mental health — and for children and teens, particularly tween and middle school girls navigating anxiety, identity, and the emotional weight of growing up.

Before private practice, I spent years working inside North Shore schools — as a school social worker and middle school adjustment counselor. That background means I understand the world your child is navigating from the inside: the classroom dynamics, the IEP process, the social pressures of middle school, and the way kids can hold it together all day and fall apart the moment they walk in the door at home.

I see clients via telehealth across Massachusetts. I'm in-network with most major Massachusetts insurance plans — including Blue Cross, Aetna, Harvard Pilgrim, Tufts, and Optum — and I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can decide if I'm the right fit before you commit to anything.
