In my practice I utilize a collaborative, strengths-based model to help clients increase awareness and develop strategies to feel more successful in their lives. My therapeutic approach is overall eclectic, drawing on my training in the evidence-based modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). As an LMHC with a Master's Degree in Art Therapy, I also incorporate expressive therapy when beneficial. In all of my work, I aim to focus my approach depending on the needs of the client I am working with.
Outside of my private practice, I work as an Art Therapist and Skills Coach at an outpatient program at McLean Hospital. With over 11 years of clinical experience, I am continually impressed with my clients abilities to overcome personal obstacles and adapt healthy and sustainable habits.
