Great to meet you!

Welcome! I am so happy you're taking the next step to beginning your therapeutic journey. I have a master's degree in social work from Simmons College of Social Work and am a licensed clinical social worker. I am a trained EMDR therapist and works from a strengths-based, attachment-centered, and psychodynamic approach with your needs and goals as the center of the treatment plan.

My approach to therapy

I work with individuals, couples, and families facing a need to process traumatic events, depression, anxiety, relational, and attachment difficulties. I work from a strength-based, psychodynamic approach with your needs and goals as the center of our treatment plan.

What you can expect from me

I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma (simple and complex). I will ask questions regarding current symptoms/behaviors and their effects on your personal life and relationships. My goal is to work collaboratively, reaching the goals you would like to focus on while creating connections and understanding the possible reasons for cycles of behaviors that you may find yourself stuck in. We will also work toward processing and desensitizing you to any triggers from traumas you have faced.
