Welcome

I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker under the supervision of Leah Niehaus, LCSW. I approach therapy through a depth-oriented, trauma-informed lens that privileges the relationship created between the two of us. My style is warm while also empowering clients to look inward to explore parts of themselves they may not have looked at in the past. In this way, I believe profound growth and improvement in symptoms can be found. I do not adhere to a “one-size-fits-all” approach and will tailor treatment to your specific experiences, identities, and goals. As a social worker, I received my Master’s degree from Boston College, which focused on treating psychological difficulties while examining how cultural and systemic forces contribute to one’s struggles. Further, I was a member of Boston College’s Latinx Leadership Institute where I took classes in Spanish tailored to the dynamic issues specifically impacting the Latinx community. I provide services in both English and Spanish.

 

Before joining Leah's practice, I worked as a crisis counselor for a local and nationwide suicide hotline, a non-profit working with children and adolescents in schools and their community, and at a community mental health clinic providing individual therapy to adults, teens, and adolescents. I also spent a year in Spain as an English language teacher which expanded my worldview and enabled me to hold multiple cultural contexts and truths at once.  

 

Outside of the therapy space you can find me exploring hiking trails and beaches in the area as well as at home trying different vegetarian recipes.
