Family therapy and counseling in Springfield, MA

Through the world of therapy, I hope to bring more education and support to pregnant and postpartum people. My style of counseling is positive, person-centered and solution-focused. I believe that the most important part of perinatal mental health is prevention; entering into therapy prior to or during pregnancy is the most effective way to process birth and postpartum. I will provide a safe and soothing environment for all of my clients to work through their identified needs. I also have training in working with college-aged students and specifically athletes. I am licensed in both MA and CT.

I believe it is important to establish therapy for moms to be and received continued support through pregnancy and postpartum. I also work with moms who experienced miscarriages and infant loss. I am also able to support college students through early adulthood transitions, sports and relationships.

If you are in the beginning stages of planning for a family or you are postpartum, I am here to support you through these transitions. I also have extensive work with family systems so even older children and parenting support. Currently I am working on an athletic college campus so I am opening private practice to college students as well.

I am a clinical social worker practicing a variety of modalities with years of national and international experience. My main practices trauma treatment, CBT, CBT for Insomnia, mindfulness and meditation, adolescent work, post partum mental health disorders. I am also trained in play therapy, radical exposure therapy and nutritional psychology. I enjoy my work and helping people feel connected, insightful into their own life and look at new opportunities for growth and change.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who specializes in working with adolescents, young adults, and the families who love them—especially when things feel like they’re at a breaking point. In my past full-time role, I worked in a residential treatment setting supporting teens and young adults facing challenges like anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, substance use, ADHD, and family conflict. I’ve sat with families during some of their hardest moments—crisis calls, treatment decisions, school refusal, shutdown, and explosive behavior—and I understand how overwhelming and isolating it can feel as the person of concern and parent. What makes my work different is that I don’t just focus on the individual—I work with the system. I help parents and young people rebuild communication, restore trust, and create real, lasting change at home, not just in a therapy room.

If you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or unsure what to do next, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

I do Individual, Couples, Family, and Group Therapy. I currently facilitate a Bereavement Group which meets at my Brookline office every Saturday from 2-4pm. I also run groups for substance abuse, depression and anxiety. In addition, I have a lot of experience counseling children of all ages. I am a firm believer in strength-based psychotherapy.
