About

Taking the first step towards feeling better is a big one, and I'm glad you took it. I am a licensed social worker in Massachusetts with over 18 years of experience. I have worked in a wide variety of settings, such as hospitals, schools, homeless and domestic violence shelters, military and in peoples' homes. I have worked with children and families, veterans, prospective adoptive families, birthparents, couples and the geriatric population. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, aging parents, blended families, trauma, as well as many other issues. My style is relaxed and solution focused, and my goal is to support you as you find your path to wellness, joy and contentment.

I look forward to working with you. And again, I'm glad you reached out.
