You want to feel better and do better in your life, and now, perhaps more than ever, you need someone – someone REALLY helpful – “in your corner” to help you turn things around. I’m willing and able to do just that. Together, we can do this: I use a range of solution-focused approaches: treatments that work (CBT, DBT, and whatever else works). We’ll figure out exactly how you’ve “gotten here,” plan a way out, and I’ll guide you along the way…as we activate your strengths and your inner resources to live a better life. I work with adults, teens, and families and I’m available immediately to give you the help you need and deserve.

Currently accepting new clients with availability Mon-Thurs, mornings and early afternoons (my evenings are unfortunately booked!) I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults. As a former teacher, I know how challenging it can be to manage a child's behavioral and emotional needs. My specialties include interventions for individuals involved with the child welfare system, child abuse and neglect, mood disorders, trauma, interpersonal conflict, anxiety, school difficulties, and play therapy. My work emphasizes the importance of a compassionate, collaborative, flexible, and holistic approach to healing.

I am passionate about helping clients achieve their goals and lead happy and fulfilling lives! I earned my Bachelor’s degree as a student-athlete at Merrimack College playing football and studying sociology and clinical psychology. I then earned my Master’s in Social Work at Walden University. Before joining the team at Launch, I’ve enjoyed working within interdisciplinary teams such as PACT (Program for Assertive Community Treatment) and serving diverse populations of all ages who struggle with mental health and/or substance use.

Regardless of the times, the circumstance or the individual, building a relationship with trust, value and efficacy matters. We also believe that this can look different for everyone. Given that, it is important that prior to finding the right therapeutic approach that meets your specific needs, we must first develop a mutual understanding and rapport with one another that feels supportive in moving forward. Next, it will become our responsibility to listen and understand what it is you would like to address and what your goals are. Your voice, experiences, and perceptions will lead us through this process.

Research has shown that people don't learn from people they don't like. Effective therapy evolves if the person seeking help likes the helper and experiences the helper as empathic, humble, competent, humorous and caring. Therapy is a respectful, mutually active endeavor between the helper and the patient in which the client feels comfortable, safe, and confident. Constructive therapy gives clients hope: that they will experience increasing well-being; that they will enhance their quality of life; that their social relationships will improve; and they will feel greater congruence between their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.

I'm not sure I believe in an Ideal client; I think all clients are Ideal, no matter their life circumstances. Life is like a rollercoaster, and when you're going down, you may need someone to be there and help talk you through it. However, If I had to choose, it would be a client having difficulty with self-esteem, self-worth, and depressive symptoms and needing additional assistance building coping skills but expressing readiness to change.

In the past, I have enjoyed working with individuals with a history of traumatic experiences, substance use, interpersonal difficulties, and psychosis. I enjoy working on goals with clients that involve cognitive restructuring and skills building. Additionally, I enjoy short-term solution-focused goals.

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.

My life experience has given me compassion for a population of individuals with mental health disorders who flourish in life, given the opportunity.

Limited availability, but accepting new clients if scheduling lines up! I primarily treat clients who struggle with eating disorders, body image concerns, and self-esteem. I often times see clients who struggle with deeper parts of themselves, such as trauma, relationship issues, gender/sexuality issues, etc., that manifest in their relationship with food or self. I want to support clients in both understanding how deeper issues of self affect external behaviors, as well as how to create more adaptive and sustainable coping. I have worked in all levels of eating disorder treatment and have worked with many co-occuring diagnoses.

ALERT: Now taking individual clients for in person or virtual sessions — Attending therapy for the first time can be scary for many. Individuals tend to fear judgment, change, the unknown, and what they might discover in therapy but my aim is to provide a safe and welcoming place for one to talk about their concerns. I strive to create a space that feels safe, grounding and compassionate for all. From this space I believe individuals can improve coping skills, communication skills, improve relationships, establish healthy boundaries, set goals, decrease levels of depression and anxiety along with much more.

How does therapy for self-harm work?
A person may turn to self-injury so that they can distract themselves from their stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances. Therapy can address the cause of an individual’s suffering. A therapist can help a person understand why they may want to self-harm and help the person learn new methods of coping. A person may have poor emotion regulation, and treatment such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is helpful for breaking this behaviour. In addition, treatment such as dialectical behavior therapy can help a person manage their tolerance of distress.
Which therapies are best for self-harm?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, and mentalisation-based therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are common approaches for people who have painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual cope with distress, regulate emotions, and manage impulsive urges.
Does the tendency to self-harm mean the person is suicidal?
Having this urge does not mean the individual suffers from suicidal ideation. People who want to self-injure look to distract or alleviate themselves from the pain they are experiencing. People with suicidal tendencies want to end life altogether. However, this does not mean a person with the intent to self-harm will not attempt suicide.
How often and how long are therapy sessions for self-harm?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Clients may see improvement within 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, maybe, a six-month period. People, especially those with co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, may need to continue therapy for up to 12 to 18 months.
