I embrace treatment using a client-centered, culturally sensitive and trauma-informed application; using a holistic lens to cultivate an individual's physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing. I bring a warm, compassionate energy that is collaborative and strength-based. I earned a MSW degree from Springfield College in 2009 and graduated from Westfield State University in 2002 with a BA degree in Social Work.
My training and experience integrates a variety of modalities; Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral (DBT)-informed, Solution-Focused, Humanistic, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Family Systems and Mindfulness practices to support an individuals needs and goals. I provide support and guidance to anyone struggling with life-cycle transitions, trauma, addiction, gender identity, grief/loss, mood disorders and other challenges that life may bring.
I work together with you to develop a therapeutic connection and to establish trust, equipping you with evidence-based tools and skills to implement into your everyday life. My commitment is to work alongside you and to create a safe space that is open-minded and free of judgment; creating a path that leads to achieving meaningful change and a better quality of life.
