ABOUT ME

I have been practicing individual and family psychotherapy since 2007 and earned my Masters in Social Work with Honors from the Hunter College School of Social Work in New York. Before I became a therapist, I worked in the arts for over 15 years and earned an MFA in Poetry from Sarah Lawrence College.

Before moving to Savannah in 2015, I worked in New York City with clients from diverse racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and spiritual backgrounds – in community mental health clinics, college counseling centers, clinical research programs, and court-based settings.

I have completed advanced training in:

SPACE Training: 2025

Internal Family Systems Level I: 2023

Somatic Experiencing Beginning I, II, and III: 2021

200-hour Yoga Teacher Training: Abhaya Yoga, 2020

My pronouns are she/her/hers.

I am a certified Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) provider through Postpartum Support International (PSI). In 2019, I helped form the Maternal Mental Health Collective of Savannah to help meet the need for perinatal mental health services in coastal Georgia.

In 2022, I founded the Georgia Fund for Perinatal Mental Health, which provides fully funded therapy sessions for moms & parents across Georgia.

I currently serve on the Board of Postpartum Support International (PSI) Georgia Chapter.

I live in Savannah with my partner, our two daughters, our dog, and more books than any home can fit comfortably. When I'm not working or with my kids, I practice yoga, read, write, and go to the beach as much as possible.

Values & Therapeutic Style

My approach is warm, interactive, practical, and empathic, and I draw from psychodynamic, feminist,

trauma-informed, anti-racist, and LGBTQ+-affirming treatment models. I am a passionate advocate for the right to reproductive choice – without exception.

As an abolitionist social worker, I am deeply committed to empowering marginalized communities and dismantling systems of oppression, white supremacy, and patriarchy.

I use sensitivity, creativity, and humor to help you achieve peace, freedom, and fulfillment – on your own terms.

You are the expert on you. Together we will assess your concerns and establish a plan to meet your needs, building on your internal wisdom and power.

I believe in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship and am honored to be part of your journey toward peace and vitality.
