I am a new clinician with over 30 years of mental health experience. I have worked on a crisis hotline, doing home based treatment, partial hospital, and in three inpatient hospitals. I started working with children as a teacher and switched to mental health because my love was always helping people with making positive changes in their lives. I worked with families, adolescents, and then adults at Butler Hospital. I recently took a position at Brightside Behavioral Health as a clinician. I truly enjoy being a part of the therapeutic process, providing a supportive, caring, non-judgmental setting where growth can occur.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to read my profile. I provide home-based therapeutic services for adults, adolescents and children. In addition, I provide family and couples counseling. My preference is working with families in the comfort of their home while providing insight into family dynamics that might not be as evident in an office setting. My specialty is working with children and families in crisis, such as families struggling with a child with anger issues, ADHD, or emotional issues which may be impacting the family unit or causing problems in school. I also am the program manager for an Equine Assisted Psychotherapy program "Healing Hearts and Broken Spirits" located on a forty acre farm in Western Coventry. For more than twenty years, I have worked with horses. I have researched and studied the impact horses have on adults, adolescents, and children with mental health, behavioral and/or emotional issues. As a result, I have incorporated horses into my sessions with clients. These important sessions may be reimbursable by your health insurance provider if a mental health diagnosis is determined during the initial assessment. Please contact me for further information.

I understand how crucial it is to find the right therapist. In sessions with children, I utilize play and art therapy to help express emotions stemming from adjustment issues, anxiety, family dynamic related issues, or traumatic experiences. With adults, I will always meet you where you are, because how you show up today, is enough.

I often meet clients when they are experiencing a difficult transition or conflict within the systems that matter most to them: typically family, friends, and self. I also make space for grief and loss, so that the experience is not isolating and intolerable. Through a variety of modalities I focus on the client's voice, experience, and barriers to personal contentment: this enables the client to be an active part of therapy, tapping into skills, solutions, and hope that might be out of reach without support.

It can be challenging to recognize that changes need to be made in your life and in your relationships. Yet, when conflicts begin to resolve and life becomes “smoother,” therapy becomes its own reward. As a therapist, I focus on creating a trusting and compassionate environment where you will feel safe in areas that await healing. I offer a shelter where you will learn to identify patterns that keep you ‘stuck’ and where you can explore new approaches and strategies that will allow your potential to blossom.
