About me
I am an experienced child, adolescent, and family therapist who is dedicated to helping individuals and families cope with life changes and stressors, anxiety, depression, divorce, and trauma. Clients can expect to take away skills, knowledge, and a sense of empowerment from clinical sessions with me. It is my hope clients leave each session with a more effective approach and thought process to manage emotions and life's stressors/challenges.
I am a psychotherapist, licensed in Massachusetts. I work with children (10+), teens, young adults, and families. I have experience working with individuals from a variety of cultural backgrounds. I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing issues with trauma/PTSD, divorce/separation, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, dual diagnosis, behavioral issues, family concerns and those who identify as LGBTQ. As a passionate, highly empathetic, strength-based therapist, I believe in a collaborative approach. I assist clients in defining their individual path to healing. I implement person-centered and strength-based approaches, meeting each client where they are at and embracing them with compassion and empathy. I utilize integrated evidence-based practices to create a tailored approach for each individual and their own situation.
