About me

I will help you! You will increase the quality of your relationships and life by working with me. I will provide the non-judgmental, safe environment you seek. I have been counseling for over 30 years, and in private practice for over a decade. I am a cancer survivor and have lived through hurricanes. I successfully raised a special needs child. I empathize with your struggles, and will help you move through them. Whether you are going through divorce, career, health, relationship, communication, addiction, parenting, grief, or any other issues you'll find my listening skills are unparalleled. At Boston University, I was taught to "start where the client is". What matters to you is what matters to me. I understand how important it is to have someone who can offer validation...this is so rare and hard to find. It is so important to have someone tell us "Yes...you make sense!" I care deeply about your concerns. I will work with you as a team, empowering you by developing a treatment plan unique to your needs. This plan will help you achieve your deepest desires, and overcome your obstacles. I have experience working with people from all backgrounds, cultures and walks of life. I also have experience using many different methods of treatment. **I do not write letters for any reason. ie-medical, work, school, pet therapy, court, etc. Any unattended session not cancelled prior to 24 hours will be reported to BetterHelp. ** I will be here with you every step of the way, and I have faith in your ability to persevere!
