About

I didn’t always plan to be a therapist. I graduated from Boston University with a B.A. in international relations. I thought I wanted to work in government and do something overseas. After moving to South Africa for a number of years, I stumbled upon therapy as a client. I went through a time in my own life where I felt lost, anxious, and depressed, and I wasn’t sure how to navigate that. I found a wonderful therapist, and as they say, the rest is history. I found hope, healing, inspiration, and empowerment; and little did I know at the time, I found my perfect career-match. Ten years after graduating from B.U., I went back to school and graduated from Wake Forest University with my master’s in counseling, focusing on mental health counseling.
Therapy is about helping you, the client, be the best version of who you want to be, at whatever stage you’re in. We work together to help you identify and choose what you want and need in your life, and empower you to work through the things that are preventing you from being there. “The things” could be anything causing difficulty for you or keeping you "stuck". I can help you see beyond what has been or what is, to what can be.
When we work together, I offer hope; a holistic perspective; a multicultural lens; a therapeutic relationship that is empathetic, kind, patient, and relatable; positivity; and practical tools. In order to offer these, I utilize EMDR, CBT, DBT, and narrative therapy, among other tools and techniques.
