About

I am a licensed mental health clinician in Massachusetts who has over 7 years of experience in the field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse and have worked with individuals who have developmental delays.

My counseling style is very engaging as I believe that the client is a huge component in assisting with the healing process in therapy. I believe respect is very important when working with someone and makes the vibes and atmosphere comfortable for everyone. I also believe that having unconditional positive regard is important in the therapeutic process and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I like to empower my client's and be resourceful when needed. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and mindfulness therapy. I will modify our treatment and approaches to meet your unique and specific needs. Overall, I try to set a safe and non-judgmental environment.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. Please ask about my availability since it may not always reflect in my schedule. I may or may not be available between the hours of 9am to 5pm due to personal and work obligations.

I look forward to working with you!
