I am currently accepting new supervisees. I offer supervision/consultation for mental health professionals pursuing licensure in MA and licensed early career professionals. I believe therapy works best when a client and therapist are able to develop a genuine connection. Change happens in the context of trusting relationships. I strive to provide a warm, empathic and supportive environment that fosters clients' ability to explore their inner experiences and make positive changes in their lives. It is a privilege to hear clients' unique stories and work with people to create the change they want to see in their lives.

It's okay if you need healing and a way forward and have no idea of where to start. Maybe you’ve tried individual or couples therapy but it’s been more harmful than helpful because your therapist didn’t understand emotional abuse and toxic relationship dynamics. Applying tools intended for two healthy people doesn’t work when there’s a Narcissist and/or abuse present in the relationship. Working with someone who understands patterns of abuse can help you make the right decision for yourself. I am trained in Narcissistic Abuse and High Conflict Divorce Coaching. - I also work with Millennial Women on life transitions (website below)
