I specialize in working with children and families going through difficult times and challenging situations. I have worked as a Program Coordinator at the Boys and Girls Club as well as in residential treatment for children with behavioral challenges in western Massachusetts. The majority of my career was spent at the Department of Children and Families, CPS for the State of Mass. During my 13 years of employment at DCF, I worked in many capacities including management. These experience have helped me to understand Complex Family Dynamics, Governmental Systems, and how they related to Substance Abuse, Mental Health and Community.

I offer individual therapy for adults, and I specialize in working with people experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety. Other areas of clinical interest include trauma, transitions of all kinds, parenting, and relationship issues.

I provide evaluations for ADD/ADHD, learning disabilities (like dyslexia and dysgraphia), and Autism. Having worked in the schools for nearly two decades, I can help parents navigate the many options and supports offered at school, including Section 504 and Special Education services. My practice is small but growing, and I put intense value on providing personalized service for families at a reasonable price. For more detailed info, click the "WEBSITE" link below.

Life in a human body is hard, and none of us were made to go through it alone. Healthy Relationships are what heal those parts of us that feel broken, shut off, or disconnected. In a healing therapeutic relationship, you can discover the place inside that was always whole, safe, and protected and regain those parts that you may feel are lost or damaged. Whether you are facing issues of anxiety, overwhelming stress, depression, anger, trauma, grief, paralyzing fear, that feeling of being stuck, or some other difficulty, together we will mindfully navigate life's many challenges with kindness, respect, and compassionate courage.

Life can be challenging, overwhelming and confusing at times, whether you are an adult, adolescent or child. I work to help clients and their families define these emotions, recognize the control they have and build their strengths to shape new, healthy coping skills .I specialize in working with anxiety and mood disorders and have worked extensively during the past 25 years with families, children and adolescents to help them find answers that are right for them. Additionally, I have experience working with adults and children who have suffered PTSD or trauma, using a cognitive-behavioral approach with proven mind/body techniques.

While being genuinely seen in young adulthood is so powerful, being out as your authentic self seems entirely out of reach. You suspect your lived experience is too different to be relatable or painfully unacceptable to those you care about. Loneliness is a wall between you and the life you want. At night you lay awake imagining what you might say if you told your story. The words catch in your throat. Anxiety when it comes to being honest about who you are is a bitter pill. It takes on a life of its own, causing you to feel stuck and wondering if you're silencing the best parts of yourself.

The fact that you are here now, reading these words, shows that a part of you is ready for change. It takes courage to face our feelings and work through them to build a better life. When we do face our feelings, we find that everything we are feeling and doing has helped us to survive our past experiences. We learn to give compassion and understanding to ourselves and our loved ones, and recognize that we have each been doing our best. We can then learn new ways of relating with our feelings and our loved ones that brings joy and connection.

Anxiety can feel overwhelming. And trying to manage worry, panic attacks, or obsessive compulsive disorder can be challenging. You may find that the harder you try, the more you fight, the worse it gets. Far too often well meaning friends and family members weigh-in and try to help by offering advice of their own: Don’t worry about it. Think about something else. Just try to relax. Unfortunately these suggestions are rarely helpful. The truth is, anxiety can be managed. The solutions, however, are often counterintuitive.

Are you experiencing a crisis in your life, feeling overwhelmed and struggling to cope? Dealing with a major life transition, physical illness or caregiver stress? I have worked with people who suffer with depressed mood, persistent anxiety, chronic illness, pain and disability. These emotional and physical stressors can result in considerable disruption in relationships and work life balance.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience. I view my work with clients as a team effort. We all have unique strengths and abilities, yet sometimes life gets hard and we can end up feeling lost, defeated, or overwhelmed. My goal is to help clients re-discover their strength, feel better, and enjoy life again.

It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help. Maybe you're a parent searching for someone who can help your teenage child, or an individual seeking freedom from negative thoughts. I partner with my clients to offer validation, insight, and targeted strategies for change. If you're looking for a therapist who is outcome-oriented and dedicated to helping you find relief and make changes that stick, please reach out.

Children and adolescents have many challenges today. A strong, supportive family environment is the key to promoting health in our young people. I am dedicated to providing guidance and help to make the process easier for the family. Trauma and behavioral issues are my specialty.

******Accepting new clients******I help children, adolescents, individuals, families, and couples strengthen their relationships and accomplish their desired behavioral and family therapy goals within a supportive setting in Charlottesville, Virginia. Therapy and coaching are not a "one-size-fits-all" process, so I offer an integrative approach to support and meet the health needs of couples and individuals of all ages. An essential element to achieve success in therapy is finding the right therapist.

I believe that biology, experiences and environment affect how we live in the world today. If you are struggling to live to your fullest, we can explore your challenges by creating a safe space to slow down and explore why. You will learn to listen to what your body and mind are telling you by learning to recognize negative beliefs, negative patterns, and unhealthy relationships.
