Growing up, after personally experiencing the powerful and life changing impact the right therapist can have on an individuals life, I have had the goal of being a therapist myself. As someone who has had countless hours from ‘both sides of the couch’ I bring a strong person-center, client driven approach to therapy looking at it as a collaboration between everyone involved. I believe this approach and collaboration helps create treatment and sessions that is as unique as the individual and to do so in a space that can feel free of judgment and allow the person to fully explore whatever it is they need to unpack and discuss. I graduated from Antioch University New England in 2017 and have been working in community mental health in Brockton, MA since which has allowed me to work with people of many diagnoses, cultures, backgrounds, socioeconomic stats and unique individual needs. I have worked with many formally incarcerated men, including experience doing therapy inside prisons. Starting at Antioch I began working with and researching eating disorders and have been active in the community since. In Brockton I am the clinician that takes on eating disorder clients and act as a consultant regionally for the company. I have worked closely with a Registered Dietitian for years who I use to both refer clients to and/or use as a consultant to provide a holistic approach to treating eating disorders.

If I am your therapist my promise is to work just as hard and put just as much into your work and therapy as you do. Balance in therapy over the long term is something I feel is important, working to find your balance between pushing to make progress but making sure it is not in a way that negatively lingers between sessions.

My goal is to create an approach to treatment that best suits you, your needs and your goals rather than make the individual fit a particular predetermined style or approach to therapy. The objective of the first session is to get to know each other and see if you feel we are a good match as I want you to end up with the right therapist even if its not myself. If you feel that I would be a good fit as your therapist then as a team we will come up with a tailored approach that is as unique as your needs and goals.
