Great to meet you!

I DO accept BC/BS of Massachusetts!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and I have a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies (CAGS) in Counseling/Psychology. I have been an individual and couples therapist for 14+ years. In a spirit of empathy and ‘radical’ acceptance, I'll work with you on identifying how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors are all connected. I'll also work with you on mindfulness, and spiritual and existential topics if that's what you want to talk about.​ When not working I am reading, getting some exercise, spending time with my 3 children, or conversing over a good cup of coffee (and my son suggested that I tell people that I know ONE card trick).

My approach to therapy

I utilize Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused therapy and Mindfulness to help clients better manage anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationship issues, and others topics of interest.

What you can expect from me

Client will have a better understanding of how their thoughts, behaviors and emotions are all connected, and how they can better manage these issues to help them live the lives they want to be living right now.
