Feeling stuck and unfulfilled, but unsure how to change? I help you develop awareness to identify and break unhelpful patterns and behaviors so you can thrive in your life.

I earned my BA from the University of Rhode Island, my MSW from Boston College, and my PhD from Northeastern University. In addition to my clinical work with mental health clients, abuse survivors, substance disorder clients, and correctional populations, I am Professor Emerita from the University of Massachusetts Boston. I am the author of 5 textbooks on substance abuse, substance abuse treatment, family violence, child welfare, and mental illness.

My ideal clients are those who may be seeking healing from trauma, navigating anxiety and depression, and improving relationships. They're committed to self-awareness, open to exploring emotions, and willing to engage in introspection. They value authenticity, trust the therapeutic process, and actively participate in their own growth. They appreciate a clinician who is strengths based, trauma informed, and encouraging to help guide them through their unique and individual healing process. I am also a lifelong equestrian and strive to use my education and experience to help other riders overcome competition and performance anxiety.

I’m a therapist who works with women who want to reconnect with joy, meaning, and balance in their lives. Often different life phases such as job transitions, motherhood, divorce, menopause, or loss of a loved one can prompt us to re-evaluate which strategies and beliefs are serving us and which are not. For others, life may be moving forward, but anxiety, depression, or grief may be preventing us from fully connecting with the positives in our lives.

The road to finding peace of mind and a clear vision for one's life can be difficult to navigate. Acknowledging that you desire change is often the first step towards clarity. Many then find that they need further guidance, which is what has likely brought you here. I believe it is important for my clients to recognize and then use their strengths, past successes, supportive relationships (including the therapeutic one) and own hopes to obtain whatever goal they set forth. Moving forward I hope to build a strong and supportive therapeutic relationship which we can use toward a self-fulfilling and clear future.

Every client's healing path is different. We work together to find what works for you. Listening, empathy and non-judgemental acceptance are characteristics of my clinical approach. I believe that therapy is an interactive process and I promote a safe, supportive environment where individuals can become aware of new ways to manage difficult challenges, situations and emotions. My commitment is to help individuals grow, make changes that are important to them and expand their opportunities so they can move forward in their lives reaching their full potential and optimal health.

Finding the right therapist can be difficult, but once we get started you will see changes in your life as you learn new tools and perspectives to manage anxiety and increase self esteem. I have many years of experience resolving long-term depression, anxiety, social isolation, phobias, intrusive thoughts, low confidence and difficulty with decision making. I help couples who have issues with trust, communication & conflict resolution. My clients are people who have reached high levels of success in many areas of their life, but still feel that something is holding them back from living their best life.

I see every patient as an individual and collaboratively we assess what kind of work would be best. I use an integrated therapeutic approach drawing on insight oriented, cognitive-behavioral and mind/body modalities. My style is direct. The goal is for people to manage relationships better and meet personal goals. Simply said, therapy is used to help people cope better with problems in their lives. Whether it's changing their behavior or the way they think about things, therapy brings a better sense of well being and a reduction in stress and distress.

Currently accepting new clients. I hope to foster an environment that facilitates growth and healing for clients and their loved ones. Together, we create a trusting relationship to spark self-discovery and enduring change for clients of all identities, bodies, and abilities. I tailor my psychotherapeutic approach to each person as an individual. Together, my clients and I create the opportunity to learn about themselves and their interpersonal world in a safe environment by incorporating evidence-based and trauma-informed interventions (e.g. ARC, CBT, motivational interviewing, DBT, expressive arts, family systems, etc.)

Life is inherently uncertain, and with that can come challenges. You're not alone in navigating those challenges and I am here to help support you along the way.

I have various interests, but I am looking for clients seeking therapeutic support through life transitions, and are looking to better themselves through processing and coping skills.
