Great to meet you!

Hello, I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 10 years of experience working with adolescents and young adults. My professional background is primarily in school-based mental health, where I currently work as a School Adjustment Counselor supporting students with social, emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges. I hold a Master's from Assumption University and have additional experience working with adults struggling with substance use and recovery-related concerns.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, emotional regulation difficulties, and life transitions. My therapeutic style is direct, supportive, and collaborative, incorporating empathy and humor to help clients feel comfortable while working toward meaningful change and personal growth.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a strong therapeutic relationship. We'll spend time discussing what brings you to therapy, exploring your current concerns, and identifying the challenges you'd like support with. Together, we'll begin developing meaningful goals that align with what you hope to achieve, while also gaining insight into the patterns, experiences, and emotions that may be contributing to your difficulties. My goal is to create a supportive, comfortable environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make positive changes in your life.
