Great to meet you!

Hello, here's a little bit about me. I've earned a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Springfield College and works as a Drug and Alcohol Therapist. I am highly motivated and dedicated mental health professional with years of experience using therapeutic techniques and working in various settings, including Intellectually/Developmentally Disabled (I/DD) adults, Substance abuse, co-occurring disorders, medication-assisted (MAT) treatment, and Autism.

My approach to therapy

My specialty includes CBT Cognitive behavioral therapy, one of the most effective methods of treatment for mental health disorders. Although, our past can help bring clarity into who we are and why we do the things we do. I like to focus on current problems and solutions. In other words - How can I help you today?

What you can expect from me

Are you struggling with trying to stay on track? Are you struggling with figuring out why you think the way you think, why you feel the way you feel, or even why it's so hard to stay focused? I completely understand. Let me help you gain the coping skills needed to be the best you that you can be. As a therapist, I enjoy helping individuals explore the past, create peace in the present, and maintain consistency for the future.
