Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker that graduated with a Master of Social Work degree from Simmons University. I have 3 years of experience working with individuals that experience depression, PTSD, anxiety, Bipolar disorder, chronic illness, dual diagnoses, and co-morbidities. I have experience utilizing evidence based approaches such as CBT, harm reduction, motivational interviewing and strengths based approach.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is tailored to clients specific needs to empower, support and educate while considering systemic, environmental, and cultural factors that may impact my clients.

What you can expect from our first session

My outcome is to assist clients to increase their self awareness and stop identifying themselves with their diagnosis as their identity is unique and should not be stopped by a diagnosis.
