LEARN MORE ABOUT ME
I started my journey with Verge in 2021 as a part-time clinician and am excited to direct the Milton office now and continue collaborating with this amazing team of clinicians! I hold a BA in psychology and dance from Barnard College and a master’s degree in social work from the University of Chicago. Since earning my master’s in 2015, I have worked extensively in high-acuity settings, conducting urgent behavioral health assessments and interventions in hospitals, homes, and community settings.
I have been a licensed independent clinical social worker since 2017. Since then, I have grown my professional skills to include clinical supervision and training, as well as collaboration with multidisciplinary teams and community organizations. I previously served in supervisory roles on crisis teams and in a school-based health center. I worked as an integrated behavioral health care clinician in a federally qualified health center for four years before joining Verge full-time in 2023.
I am passionate about providing relational, trauma-informed, and nonjudgmental therapeutic services to adolescents, adults, and couples using relational and CBT/DBT-informed interventions. I also have strong interests in building sustainable, trauma-informed, and antiracist workplaces and providing clinical supervision to clinicians of all experience levels. Outside of work, you can find me in spin or dance class, taking pictures of my cats, or spending time with friends and family, usually with an iced coffee in hand.
