Professional Statement

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing at Hope Ave Therapy Associates in Waltham, MA. I predominantly work with young adults, college students and adolescents. My approach combines humanistic, trauma informed, strength and systems-based theories. I also utilize play therapy when developmentally appropriate. I offer services to adolescents and young adults experiencing emotional distress relating to anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use.

I received my Bachelor of Science in social work from Skidmore College. I completed my clinical internship at a public elementary school in Waterford, NY. Most of my time was devoted to working individually with students on Individual Education and Behavior Plans. I received my Master’s Degree from Wheelock College (now Boston University). My clinical internship during the graduate program included working for an in-home behavioral therapy agency called Becket Family of Services in Beverly, MA. My role was to support families in reunification and permanency through individual adolescent, parent and family therapy. I’ve spent my career working with teens in recovery through adventure-based therapy, individuals of all ages struggling with addiction, anxiety and trauma, and older adults with severe psychiatric disabilities. I have worked in hospital, outpatient and community-based settings. 

Outside of work I spend most of my time with family & friends, weight lifting and photographing my dog.
