Welcome
I'm a mental health writer and clinical mental health counselor with a background in counseling, literary studies, and journalism. My work focuses on translating complex psychological concepts into clear, compassionate, engaging writing for both public and professional audiences.
My essays and articles have appeared in publications including Time; O, the Oprah Magazine; the Wall Street Journal; and the Boston Globe, among others. In addition to editorial work, I have developed educational and narrative mental health content for McLean Hospital, a psychiatric teaching hospital affiliated with Harvard Medical School.
Drawing from training in clinical mental health counseling as well as a master's degree in English literature, I'm especially interested in the intersection of psychology, narrative, creativity, emotional wellbeing, and human experience. I value communication that is psychologically grounded, emotionally nuanced, and accessible.
In addition to my writing work, I provide counseling services while working toward independent clinical licensure.
