Helping people understand the science of how they feel.

"My mission is to provide evidence-based answers as to how we can live emotionally rich, less lonely lives."

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist, researcher, and writer based in the Boston area. My work sits at the intersection of science and lived experience — in my research lab, my therapy practice, and on the page.

As a Research Assistant Professor at Boston University's Approach Motivation and Participation Lab, I study the emotional and social experiences of people living with serious mental illness. As a therapist at Cambridge Psychology Group, I work with adults navigating concerns around mood, anxiety, OCD, perinatal mental health, and major life transitions.

When I'm not with a client or in the lab, you can find me binge-watching too much TV, having nerdy conversations about movies, baking, or spending time with friends and family. I live in Somerville, MA with my husband, three kids, cat, and dog.
