I am originally from Williamsburg, Virginia. I received my BA in International Relations and German from the University of Virginia in 2001. I then spent five years in Freiburg, Germany working for the IES European Union Program as their Student Services, Health, and Safety Coordinator, while also studying psychology at the University of Freiburg. I went on to earn my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from William James College in Boston, MA in 2014. I completed my post-doctoral training at the Boston Institute for Psychotherapy and I have been in private practice since 2017. I am a member of the Massachusetts Association for Psychoanalytic Psychology and the Massachusetts Psychological Association.
