About

As a Cultural Psychologist and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the states of Massachusetts and New Hampshire, I have provided psychotherapy services to a range of clients for over 19 years. I currently work with individual adults and adolescents. I specialize in identifying and promoting a client's strengths. Sporting a warm and interactive counseling style, sprinkled occasionally with humor, I believe in treating people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, disliking the use of unhelpful or stigmatizing labels. My approach is tailored to meet the unique and specific needs of my clients. A humble and creative individual, I have been trained in Cultural and Clinical Psychology. Travel, cross-cultural experiences, and work have significantly enriched my life. Over the years, I have expanded my understanding while accumulating a plethora of resources to empower clients towards positive growth. Presently, I employ Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and other treatment approaches. Known to be a supportive, empathetic, encouraging, and non-judgmental listener, some of my clients have remarked that I am a safe person with a calming and kind presence. Not surprisingly, due to both positive and challenging life experiences, I can relate to many narratives my clients present. We are all human, interconnected, and contribute individually and wonderfully to each other and the planet. Over time, practicing as a therapist has humbled me greatly. I often marvel at clients' courage, their trust in me, and their sincerity, not to mention their honesty, humor, intelligence, and other stellar qualities. Frequently, the initial issue presented leads to other areas that have been challenging. Every time a client chooses to confide in me, I take a moment's pause to step into the shared journey of therapy. I am here to support and empower you.
