There are many aspects of our lives that define our emotional connectedness to others and our own happiness. When we experience anxiety, depression, anger, and/or grief, we suffer. Our suffering touches all parts of our life, both personal and professional. Sometimes, things just aren’t right. When you feel unhealthy, due to a difficult relationship or your behaviors are hurtful to yourself or others, life can be difficult.

I currently work with only adults and couples. I work with clients who need to work on symptoms such as anxiety, depression, agoraphobia, academic problems, anger management, bereavement and grief issues, communication problems with family members and partners, self-esteem, separation and divorce, sleep disturbance, work stress, and much more. I use Cognitive behavioral therapy, systems approach, relaxation, and guided imagery. I also provide assertiveness training. I also use Clinical Hypnosis for weight loss, smoke cessation, nail biting, and other behavioral changes. I also do Christian counseling with focus on spirituality.

My practice is Telehealth only- taking new clients limitedly for individual counseling and EMDR. Office hours: MTW 8-4pm Thurs 9-2pm. I am not accepting adjunct referrals at this time. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, survivors of narcissistic abuse, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, and also work with other presenting issues. I strive to assist clients develop a stronger and healthier sense of self and find a sense of empowerment in their lives. Using a variety of therapeutic modalities, I aim to help each person improve overall stability, peace, happiness, and life satisfaction.

Feeling stuck? Weighed down and tired from carrying around your past? Wanting to make positive changes but feel like you were never taught the skills? Let's talk about it! As a therapist, I am dedicated to providing compassionate and effective care to individuals struggling with PTSD, mood disorders, anxiety, and depression in a safe and supportive setting. I work closely with the LGBTQ+/BIPOC communities, as well as with parents navigating their experiences with DCF.

I work with people across the lifespan to help them explore patterns, gain deeper understanding into their lives and move towards desired changes. I specialize in using play and art therapy to work with children and adolescents who are encountering emotional challenges at home, school and with identity formation. I also have a strong interest in working with adults seeking support with life transitions, parenting, relationships, anxiety and grief. I practice with a trauma focused lens where I recognize the way past trauma can manifest both emotionally and physically. I welcome using art therapy interventions with adults as desired.

Pursuing therapy is an admirable step; it takes a lot of courage and energy. As such, I approach therapy with a respectful, accepting attitude. Whether working with an individual or entire family, I operate from the notion that everyone is doing their best, given their circumstances. I assume an active role in therapy: I quickly engage, listen deeply and reflect back. I will ask clarifying questions and offer interpretations.

EMAIL is preferred for initial contact. Are you facing overwhelming stress and anxiety? Perhaps you find yourself overly reactive—either quickly becoming angry or shutting down? Or feeling down, lacking your usual energy and motivation, and finding it harder to complete tasks? It can be hard when you don’t know where to go for help. Together, you and I will figure out what is really going on, and I will provide you with the support, guidance, and skills you need to make positive changes.

We all experience trauma and distress at some point in our lives. These past experiences, no matter how small or big they may seem, can take a toll on our mental health and act as a barrier to living the life we want to live. As an EMDR therapist, my practice is operated on the theory that our past experiences cause present distress and prevent us from reaching our goals.

People come to counseling to seek support around jobs, relationships, addictive patterns, in hopes to live a more fulfilling and joyful life. I am a seasoned licensed mental health therapist that specializes in supporting adults and couples. I have advanced training in cognitive behavioral therapy and nutrition. I support clients currently with anxiety disorders, depression, and addictions.

I'm a licensed mental health counselor in Massachusetts and love the work that I do! I specialize in couples counseling from a developmental model, but I also work with many individuals 18 and older. I know personally how difficult life can be and how hard it can be to ask for help. I'm here for you. If you are experiencing grief, loss of any kind, difficulty or pain in relationships, anxiety/depression, have experienced trauma, or struggling with self-esteem and figuring out your life path, I can help you explore and examine these intimate challenges.
