Great to meet you!

I have served as a clinician in healthcare for the past 20 years and recently decided to become a full-time virtual therapist. I graduated from Tufts University (undergrad) with a major in social psychology and graduated from Columbia University’s School of Social Work with a focus in social problems. My areas of focus are grief, women’s health, and palliative care.

My approach to therapy

I have experience working with diverse populations and utilize the strengths perspective, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and humanistic approach when working with clients.

My main focus is to provide a safe and supportive environment allowing clients an opportunity to vent feelings and work on achieving their goals.
