About
I have been a Clinical Social Worker for the past 5 years working primarily in an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at a psychiatric hospital in Boston. Prior to this, I spent most of my professional life working in higher education as an administrator and educator for over 20 years. My clinical focus has been working with late adolescents, young adults, and adults with anxiety, depression, substance use, and other mental health concerns. I believe in a client-centered approach to therapy that starts with ensuring the client and therapist have a strong therapeutic relationship. I believe in a client centered approach to therapy that starts with ensuring the client and therapist have a strong therapeutic relationship. Not all clients and therapist will be a good match. I work to fully understand my clients lived experience so that I can work with you to achieve your therapeutic goals. I use an eclectic approach to therapy, meaning I may use a variety of evidence-based approaches to achieve results. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in communication from SUNY Fredonia, a master’s degree in education from Boston University. I earned my Doctor of Education degree from Johnson & Wales University, where I studied the campus climate for Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual students at Catholic and non-Catholic institutions of higher education. I earned my Master of Social Work degree with a concentration in clinical mental health from Boston College. I conducted my first internship with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Office of Community Development and Substance Abuse, and my final internship at HRI Hospital in Brookline Massachusetts.
