Accepting teen and adult clients, limited time slots available. My therapy dogs and I are here to help with challenges in life. We can help you deal with life transitions, stressful situations, relationships, school and work stress, sadness, self esteem, anxiety, health issues, and other challenges. As a former college athlete, I have learned the many ways that sports and other areas in life can help us learn about ourselves. I have over 15 years of experience and enjoy working with children, teens, adults, and families. I was a middle school teacher and coach prior to becoming a therapist.

Daytime openings! We are all constantly changing. We may have already accomplished goals in our lives, yet are at a crossroads again. This time, we may wish to seek help, whether it’s to develop a goal, figure out what may be a little “off” in our life or maybe some direction with some heavier challenges. I specifically have experience working with substance use disorders, infant mental health and parent-child attachment. I've been trained in Infant Mental Health, Risking Connection, Seeking Safety as well as Circle of Security, but have worked with many individuals and families with varying reasons that brought them to therapy.

Trained in Germany and in the United States I have been able to learn from both academic and cultural traditions. Psycho-dynamic, Gestalt, Solution-focused and other approaches in Psychology led me to understand our emotional life as a strong and resilient force. This force is leading us - sometimes unnoticed - to new beginnings; we resist what is destructive and we heal at the same time.

My approach is to treat the individual, not the diagnosis, but the individual with the diagnosis.

Welcome! I have been working in various therapeutic settings with children, teens and adults for nearly a decade to help them overcome family, relational, school and life challenges so they can find more joy and grow as an individual. I have found that many people benefit from movement while engaging in therapy so I incorporate outdoor activities while using traditional therapy techniques. I have had extensive training and experience in outdoor recreation such as hiking, paddling, snowshoeing, and more which I now use to help my clients grow and heal in accessible locations within Middlesex County.

Are you feeling burnt out, easily triggered, or overwhelmed? My ideal client is someone who has been living in survival mode but wants to understand their emotions more deeply so they can manage their life more effectively. My clients often feel that they have to put on a mask and fake a smile, but on the inside they are in a world of pain that very few people, if any, truly understand. Therapy is a place where that mask can safely come off. I am passionate about helping people improve their ability to cope with their emotional and physical pain so that they can experience life more fully instead of just surviving.
