As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) at Nourished Minds Counseling + Wellness, I specialize in treating adolescents and adults struggling with eating disorders, complex trauma, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, OCD and personality disorders.

My clinical approach flexibly incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I enjoy working with clients to meet their goals with curiosity, compassion and humor.

I received my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Boston College. Prior to joining Nourished Minds, I worked at Monte Nido Laurel Hill, a residential eating disorder facility, where I provided individual, group and family therapy to clients recovering from eating disorders. During my time as a therapist, I gained experience working with clients as they developed insight and coping skills to navigate eating disorders, self-harm, dissociation, suicidality, substance abuse, complex trauma, intimate partner violence, OCD, as well as identity development.

Prior to this work, I spent a year as a primary and group therapist for Right Turn, a program for individuals struggling with substance abuse. During graduate school, I worked as a recovery coach, providing behavioral interventions and nutrition exposures for individuals with eating disorders. I am dedicated to continued professional development and am a member of The National Association of Social Workers (NASW).

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I particularly enjoy working with young adults as they navigate their experience and expression of gender and sexuality. I am a sex-positive and kink-allied therapist. I am dedicated to continued anti-racist education and the use of knowledge of systems of oppression and their impact on individual and community health in my clinical practice and life. I feel grateful for the opportunity to build relationships and work alongside my clients as they identify values-based behaviors and strategies to create the life they want for themselves.

The PEAAC is a holistic, HAES-aligned sports medicine and eating disorder clinic that believes in keeping each patient’s human-ness at the forefront: We are all people first and deserve to be treated as such. We believe in fostering reconnections between the mind, body, and soul and working to understand the root of life dissatisfaction for which the eating disorder has thus far been the necessary coping mechanism.

I am a recovered anorexic who does not make a distinction between “atypical” anorexia and anorexia. All weights at my clinic are truly blind, as we use the numberless Myclearstep scale, where the number only discoverable on my secure provider portal; I also do not enter the weight into the medical record unless required for electronic prescribing.

I have experience working with a variety of eating disorders including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, and all other specified feeding and eating disorders. I am a non-diet dietitian that aligns with health at every size. I actively work to provide a non-biased approach to nutrition care to support people of all sizes, genders, race and sexual orientation. My experience with eating disorders comes from my 3 years working at Cambridge Eating Disorder Center before transitioning to outpatient care with peace.love.food Nutrition Counseling to provide more direct and individualized client care.
I believe in healing your relationship with food by creating positive food experiences and finding joy in food again. I have a passion for helping others and creating a safe space to discuss food beliefs.
