I have my master’s degree from Lesley University in Mental Health Counseling and Expressive Arts Therapy. I am certified as a mindfulness teacher, mediator, and yoga teacher. The mind-body connection is an important aspect of the approach I take with clients. I am also trained to provide Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Additionally, I’m a facilitator of Gender Equity and Reconciliation, so it informs my work with couples and relationship challenges. I specialize in working with adult individual clients and couples who experience anxiety, depression, adult and childhood trauma, relationship conflict/transitions, and mid-life transitions.

Hello!

I proudly bring lived experience to the table, so I know a different life than comes in textbooks. It increases my odds of understanding you better and of being able to develop unique strategies for you in a shorter amount of time. I've wanted to work in mental health since I was a child, and bring that enthusiasm to my work. Hope to see you soon.
