Hello! Most of my background has been in inpatient psychiatry, but I currently practice outpatient therapy through Veterans Affairs. My training is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, particularly to treat insomnia. I completed my MSW through Boston University.
My approach is very much goal driven, evidenced based, and behaviorally focused. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia for those that are seeking to improve their sleep through non-pharmacological means. I also find humor to be an important aspect to who I am as a person, but also in creating a welcoming environment for my clients.
Typically the first session involves getting to know the person, the reason they are seeking therapy, and what they are hoping to get out of treatment.
