Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Simmons University. I’ve worked as a therapist in various capacities for over 12 years. I have worked with individuals of all ages. I have the most experience working with people who are dealing with trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, dealing with life changes, relationship challenges and struggling with emotional distress due to medical conditions.

My approach to therapy

I do not subscribe to one treatment modality in particular. I think it is important to customize treatment based on the person’s individualized needs. I do have experience in using Cognitive -Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing,

What you can expect from me

As a therapist, I consider my most important values to be the ability to be open-minded, empathetic and non-judgmental. I believe the thing that sets me apart from other therapists is my ability to be real and authentic but being compassionate at the same time. I commit myself to being honest to the people I work with. In return, I hope to provide a safe space for people to be comfortable and candid. My hope is to be a guide and to offer support as you tackle some of life’s biggest challenges
