The journey to becoming a mother is often described as a time of uncertainty. Many mothers find themselves feeling emotionally unprepared and anxious. My practice supports women through pregnancy, postpartum and the years beyond. While my practice specializes in supporting pregnant and postpartum women, I also offer individual counseling to individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and many other areas of need.

I enjoy working with people who are struggling with substance use, whether they are just beginning to question their use and habits or they have experienced chronic relapse and feel hopeless. I believe part of that process is ensuring they are informed of options available and helping them discover their “why.” I have experience supporting people in identifying their strengths, finding coping skills, and creating measurable, attainable goals. I am skilled at navigating treatment systems/levels of care in Massachusetts. I have experience with medical detoxification protocols and can discuss options for medication-supported treatment.

I provide clients with a safe, supportive & respectful therapy/coaching experience. I’m there to listen. They can share “stories, past, present, life stresses/transition, mental health issues, family/couples goals” etc. I build upon clients strengths as we work together to achieve their goals. As a therapist & life coach I strive to provide my clients with a positive experience. Treatment concludes with them feeling better about themselves & having met "their goals”. The passion I felt when chose this field, early on in high school, still remains:). Through challenging times I’m grateful to be here, to help those in need.

I believe that one of the most important aspects of successful therapy is the connection between the therapist and the client. I offer a safe and nurturing environment based on trust and mutual respect. I believe many clients have the unconscious wisdom to guide themselves through difficult life events, and my role is to help the individual explore and discover themselves. I use a strength based approach to healing and problem solving, while always providing unconditional respect and nonjudgmental regard for the individual's personal therapeutic journey.

I consider it an honor to guide people on their journey through this life, to help them release old patterns of thought, feeling and behavior that interfere with their sense of well-being and wholeness, resolve the effects of lingering pain and/or past trauma, explore what is important and meaningful in their lives, and find new purpose and depth in themselves and in their relationship to the world around them. If you find yourself lost, in your relationships and/or your life, in a world that makes little sense, we can find a path and way of being that feels right for you in the most fulfilling way.

Finding the right play therapist can make all the difference. I invite you to read on and decide whether you are ready to take that next step and call. I feel passionately about helping parents and young children (0-8 years old) to build strong relationships by learning and growing together. The relationships formed in the early years of life are very important and create the the foundation for social-emotional growth. Play Therapy is a way of being with and helping a child that honors and supports their developmental level through speaking their language, play.

Using a integrative style, I work with my clients in order to help them explore the social, emotional, biological, nutritional, and intellectual factors that are impeding them. My primary goal as a therapist is to build warm relationships characterized by acceptance and humor. I find that it is empowering for my clients to take an active role in creating our work together, whether that is short-term treatment targeting a specific problem, or more in-depth work.

For nearly four decades, I have had the privilege of working with and learning from hundreds of individuals, couples and families as they have wrestled with the challenges of their lives. Every person's story and circumstances are unique but if someone is helped by the work we do together, it is generally because we form a relationship of trust and connection. My decades of work with top tier professionals at Harvard Business School, has given me a deep appreciation of the interplay between professional and personal lives. My own commitment to lifelong learning enables me to bring state of the art care to my clients.
