As a board-certified clinical social worker with over two decades of experience, I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and perinatal mental health challenges.

I hold advanced degrees from Harvard and Simmons School of Social Work, with specialized training in clinical hypnosis and behavioral medicine. My work focuses on creating a collaborative therapeutic environment that emphasizes whole-person wellness, incorporating stress management, mindfulness, and evidence-based treatments like ERP and ACT.I serve clients aged 17 and older through in-person sessions in Brookline, Massachusetts, and via telehealth platforms.
