As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, I have dedicated over a decade to the practice of social work. I hold a master's degree in social work from Boston University, complemented by a bachelor's degree in social work from Cornell University. Throughout my career, I have actively engaged with individuals across various age groups, including children, adolescents, and adults, while also conducting evaluations and investigations for the Juvenile Courts. My professional journey began by focusing on emergency services for children and providing support to families affected by abuse, neglect, and mental health challenges. Over time, my expertise expanded to encompass a wide range of areas, including parenting, trauma, depression, anxiety, adoption, and LGBTQ+ issues. When working with clients, I adopt a person-centered approach that combines various treatment methodologies, tailored to meet the unique needs and concerns of each individual. Drawing on my training, I integrate elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) into my practice. By utilizing evidence-based techniques from these approaches, I assist clients in developing practical strategies to navigate challenges, manage emotions, and foster positive change in their lives. Through a collaborative and empowering process, I work with my clients to develop personalized plans that align with their goals and aspirations. My aim is to provide a safe and supportive space where individuals can explore their experiences, overcome obstacles, and cultivate resilience.

I am a seasoned, clinical social worker with ten years of experience with the Department of Veterans Affairs, where I treated veterans with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Prior to my work at the VA, I worked in nursing homes and community mental health centers where I provided psychotherapy and crisis intervention to individuals of all different ages and backgrounds. First and foremost, I consider myself to be a trauma therapist, and I subscribe to the notion that most diagnoses are rooted in adverse experiences from the past. I've been described as "blunt" and "caring" by my clients due to my no-nonsense - yet compassionate - approach to therapy. I consider the greatest compliment that I've ever received to be "You are the person that tells me the truth that I don't want to hear." If you appreciate being called out when you're not being completely honest with yourself, then I just might be the right therapist for you. I look forward to working with you!

I am dedicated to helping my clients build bridges to a healthier, happier life. Are you going through a big change? Life calls us into constant change. Whether planned and joyful or unexpected and grief filled: changes in relationships; parenting; or career - they take their toll on each of us. Healing through grieving, stretching, adjusting, and growing can be blocked when you feel overwhelming emotions, when you are fearful and avoidant of what is to come, and when you simply don't know how to move ahead. I listen to, support, and teach my clients to help reduce anxiety, depression, and stress that comes with life transitions. I specialize in helping individuals make changes in the way they work, resolve difficult issues, take action and move forward with their plans. Maybe you feel you have reached a glass ceiling and want to move your personal and professional life forward, yet you don't or can't find the time and space to work ON rather than IN your business. I will work with you to process the changes, to cope when the hard times are upon you, and to learn skills to improve the daily choices that you make I know that the decision to begin therapy. To admit that you're not sure what comes next in your life, to imagine yourself in a better place takes courage, and I consider it an honor to help.
