Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Lowell, MA

Hello! I’m a licensed mental health counselor who truly cares about creating a safe, supportive space where people feel comfortable being themselves. I work with individuals facing trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, parent/child concerns, and many of life’s difficult transitions.

I understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming. Opening up about painful or uncomfortable parts of your life takes courage, and you don’t have to do it alone. I’ve dedicated myself to learning the skills needed to walk alongside people during these moments, at a pace that feels right for them. For me, this work is more than a career — it’s a calling.

I am a highly experienced and compassionate Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with 19-years of experience in mental health care. As a dedicated professional, I have built a reputation for delivering patient-focused, evidence-based treatment to adolescent and adults. I want my clients to know that I truly value listening without judgment and meeting them where they are. My style is open-minded, compassionate, and empowering. I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust, honesty, and respect. I bring both professional expertise and genuine care, helping clients feel heard, understood, and supported as we work together toward their goals My areas of expertise include, Anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Depression and Mood Disorders, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Substance Abuse and Addiction Recovery and medication management and psychopharmacology.

I am a licensed mental health counselor and dance movement therapist. I am passionate about mental health, healing, and helping folks help themselves. I approach my work with a trauma informed lens, and with a deep respect for meeting people where they are at. Focus mainly on identity, anxiety, depression and trauma.

I love working with clients who are reflective, open to self-exploration and ready to challenge long-standing beliefs about themselves. I help adults build confidence, improve emotional regulation, strengthen relationships, and develop healthier coping strategies for managing stress, anxiety, or trauma-related symptoms. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where clients gain practical tools to interrupt negative thought cycles, process difficult experiences, and move toward a more balanced, self-compassionate way of living. This helps clients experience greater clarity, stronger boundaries, and improved self-worth.

I believe therapy works best when there is a strong connection between therapist and client. My style is warm, genuine, and direct. I'll offer compassion and support, but I'll also help you recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

As a trauma-informed therapist and EMDR specialist, I create a space where you can be yourself without judgment. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable with me quickly because I show up as a real person—not just a therapist.
