About

Welcome. I am a clinical social worker in Massachusetts with over 15 years of experience counseling individuals, teens, families, and couples in community mental health centers and in schools. I specialize in relational work, integrating holistic approaches, including psychodynamic therapy, creative arts therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems theory and mindfulness techniques. I work from a strengths-based perspective helping clients find their own power within to build on their capabilities and expand their world. I am also trained in utilizing trauma informed therapy to help clients process and heal from painful and significant events that have created barriers in their lives. I have a background as a special educator and school based counselor with elementary, middle, and high school students and their families to help improve communication, self esteem, and problem-solving skills. I strongly believe in taking a stand for racial and social justice . As a visual artist, I am interested in how creativity plays a therapeutic role.

As my client, you will find a down-to- earth, insightful therapist, who will listen to you, help you find your voice, and create a path with you so you can move forward. I will work alongside you as your guide in creating your own space for self compassion and deeper awareness. Whether you are feeling stuck, grappling with difficult relationships, challenging circumstances, struggling with loss, or just seeking support, it takes courage to stay with yourself during during these challenging moments, and build a better sense of integrity and wholeness.
