I have been seeing patients since 2019, having trained in college counseling centers and community mental health before moving into private practice. I studied Psychology and Theology at Loyola University Maryland before earning my PhD in Counseling Psychology from Boston College, where my research focused on how the cultural norms of masculinity impact our mental health and how to support men’s healthy relationships. This work was inspired by my personal life as well as experiences with mentors who helped me find my way into the mental health field, and remains a part of who I am as a therapist and a writer. My clinical background is primarily in working with adolescents and young adults, during chapters of life full of both stress and growth. I am particularly experienced working with people who are going through family challenges, processing the effects of trauma while building intimate relationships in adulthood, going through grief, grappling with their identities (e.g., faith and sexuality, coming out, what it means to be a man, racial trauma, social class), and also love meeting those who are new to therapy and curious if it could be helpful.

I come from Irish and Italian-American families, and the Boston area has been home for me since starting graduate school. I also teach occasionally and enjoy supporting the development of new clinicians. Outside of work, I unwind by cooking, playing guitar, practicing yoga, and spending time with friends and family. I am an avid soccer fan, an armchair student of political history, a regular sauna user, and happiest anywhere with a dog.
