I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of clinical experience supporting adults, young adults, adolescents, and families through complex life transitions, grief, trauma, and medical challenges. My work is especially focused on fertility, pregnancy loss, NICU experiences, birth trauma, and the emotional realities of becoming a parent when things don’t go as planned.

​

I earned my Master of Social Work degree with an emphasis in Trauma & Interpersonal Violence from Simmons College and my Bachelor of Science in Health Science from Boston University. I began my career working in schools before moving into hospital settings, where I supported people navigating some of life’s most difficult and uncertain moments.​​​

​

In the hospital, I worked closely with:

​

• women and their partners experiencing complicated pregnancies, fertility challenges, birth trauma, and pregnancy loss

• parents whose babies were receiving care in the NICU

• individuals and families navigating cancer and serious illness

• children, adolescents, and families coping with acute and chronic medical conditions, including liver transplant

 

Through working in these environments, I have a deep understanding of the world of grief, loss, and complex trauma. My understanding of this work is also personal. I have my own story with breast cancer, fertility challenges, and traumatic loss. Those experiences have shaped not only how I understand grief and uncertainty, but also how I show up for the people I work with. I know what it can feel like when your body, your plans, and your sense of what you thought life would look like suddenly become uncertain. I also know that some losses are difficult to explain and not always visible to the people around you.

​

My personal experience doesn’t mean I assume I know exactly what you’re going through. Your story is your own. Instead, it gives me an even deeper appreciation for how intricate these experiences can be—and for how important it is to have a space where you don’t have to make your experience sound better than it feels.
