Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts, I work with adults experiencing PTSD and trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, grief, and the ongoing stressors of daily life. My approach is collaborative and compassionate — I meet clients where they are and help them build the skills and confidence to reach meaningful goals at their own pace.

My approach to therapy

I take time to truly understand each person’s story and circumstances, ensuring that we move forward in ways that feel manageable, safe, and supportive. I focus on helping clients develop effective coping strategies to prevent overwhelm while fostering growth and resilience.

What you can expect from me

My work integrates evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Seeking Safety, all within a trauma-informed framework. Together, we’ll create a therapeutic space where healing, self-awareness, and genuine change can take root.
