I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 5 years of experience in the mental health field. I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and couples address their unique challenges and live more fulfilled lives. I specialize in depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, trauma, school stress, relationship problems, and life transitions.
I completed my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology at Northeastern University. I utilize multiple approaches including mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and many more.
I am confident that I can support you in your journey to live a more fulfilled life by helping you gain new techniques, perspectives, and coping skills. If you are ready to do the work, schedule an appointment with me today.
