About
I have a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology, and I'm licensed as a mental health counselor in Massachusetts. I have a very friendly, laid-back personality and am always eager to help and use a lot of humor in my general approach; however, I am also very comfortable working through serious and difficult subjects in a calm, supportive way. I'm a very happy, positive person and can always find a silver lining in almost any situation! I’ve been in the human services field since 2011, and my experience is very diverse. I have a lot of experience with substance abuse, depressive and anxiety disorders, PTSD, and ADHD, both through inpatient, outpatient, and community-based treatment. Additionally, I have experience with domestic violence, the Department of Children and Families (DCF), foster care regulations, and the Massachusetts legal system. My therapeutic approach pulls from several different types of therapy, and though I'm mostly based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I'm also able to utilize different approaches and techniques as needed. I am very open and welcoming to feedback, as well as flexible, so I always encourage people to share what they want and need while we're working together so that I have a chance to help or adjust accordingly. I’ve also worked with clients of all ages from all kinds of ethnicities, religions, and backgrounds. Once we build a positive relationship with open and honest communication, I am confident I can help and support you in reaching your goals! If you're not familiar with counseling, a great way to think of it is having a warm, welcoming place to discuss any issue, thought, or problem you've been dealing with without having to worry about judgment, pressure, being misunderstood, or not being heard. I will always work at your pace, so you'll never feel rushed, and we'll always focus on whatever issue you feel is most important at that moment. Remember, you know yourself better than anyone else ever could, so I will never assume that I know what's best. My job is to listen, support, and provide you with the tools to be able to manage your feelings and life, and help you accomplish the things you hope to achieve!
