About Me
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the arts and psychological research—two fields that, in different ways, explore how we make sense of ourselves and the world around us. In film and television, I collaborated with writers and directors to develop stories that would one day be watched by an audience. As a research assistant in Harvard’s social psychology department, I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Daniel Gilbert and Dr. Bethany Burum, contributing to studies on how we predict emotions, make decisions, and plan for the future.
To me, being a therapist is a blend of these two interests—the science and the art of understanding people. My research background gave me a deep appreciation for human behavior, but more importantly, it reinforced what I see in therapy every day: real change isn’t just about understanding yourself intellectually—it’s a lived experience. Storytelling, on the other hand, taught me how we construct meaning in the narratives we carry. But in life, not all stories are ones we consciously choose. We absorb ideas about who we are from family, culture, and past experiences—often without realizing it. Therapy is where we get to step back and ask: Is this really my story? Is it serving me?
My approach is warm, thoughtful, and insight-driven. I work best with people who are curious about themselves—who want to understand their patterns and make choices that feel more authentic. Clinically, I trained at The Maple Counseling Center, working with adolescents navigating anxiety, self-doubt, relationships, and identity development.
