Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working in medical and interdisciplinary settings. In addition, I have also worked as a chaplain in hospital and nursing home settings. I hold a M.A. in Pastoral Theology from Boston College and a MSW from Salem State University. I provide the care my clients deserve, treating them with dignity, compassion, and respect.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in older adults and end-of-life/grief issues, medical issues, depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and family systems/caregiver issues. I have a client-centered, multifaceted approach to therapy.

What you can expect from me

I take a “getting-to-know-you” approach to my first sessions with new clients. I will work collaboratively with you to help you define your goals with therapy, any expectations you have for therapy, and the path you envision for yourself. My strength is to be able to meet my clients where they are at and be present with them to accompany them on their life’s journey. I do this by creating an atmosphere of trust and empathic listening, which helps me to develop a custom treatment plan for each client.
