Hello and welcome. As a spiritual counselor, I will guide and support you in cultivating your strengths and wisdom, and a clear sense of Self. We will explore the patterns and beliefs you have developed throughout your lifetime that keep you from feeling peaceful, authentic, and at ease with yourself. Having studied trans-personal, or soul-based, psychology for many years, I believe that life offers us opportunities to learn and grow, and that by developing compassion for, and acceptance of ourselves, we can uncover meaning and purpose, even in our pain, and ultimately find freedom and joy in our lives.

I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy through the Academy of Cognitive Therapy. I utilize evidenced based treatments including, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy and Mindfulness. In 2005, I earned my MSW degree during which time I trained at the Tewksbury State Hospital and at the Department of Veteran Affairs. I have over 13 years of experience in working with adults struggling with medical conditions depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, as well as issues related to gender identity and sexuality.

It is often difficult to be one's unique human self. How wonderful you have the courage to propel hope for deep and lasting change for your emotional struggles. Adults in individual and couples therapy deserve to experience loving relationships, and freedom from anxiety, depression, trauma, ADD, and one's idiomatic patterns of difficulty. When your strengths come to the fore, problems loosen their hold, creating the possibilities of you consistently being lovingly in charge of your own life. When your inner life is enriched, you increase possibilities for more abundance. Your private education becomes a great overall investment.

Let's work together to overcome the stressors that have been burdening your life. Therapy by no means solves all the issues we face day to day. What I do is help you find the strength that you have always had, but has been buried by hardship. This happens to all of us at some point, and it is at that moment that we need help. Help is the service I provide, and am happy to do so. So, let's work together to find your strength, and overcome your adversity.

The decision to seek out a therapist is an important first step towards positively addressing conflicts, managing distress, and learning to cope with negative or overwhelming feelings. Our team of therapists bring years of therapy experience. We work with children, adolescents, adults, and families who are Deaf or come from Deaf families (includes hearing family/friends who sign). We provide a supportive, nurturing environment. We use a multimodal approach incorporating mind-body therapies with evidence-based treatments.

Emotions are complex entities, fed by our experiences, beliefs, and relationships they can be both difficult to express and understand. For individuals who feel overwhelmed by their emotions compounded by the every-day stressors that life can bring, therapy provides a pathway to enhanced wellbeing. Tackling the misconceptions and stigmas that therapy is a privilege for a select few, my goal is to help put the power of self-awareness into the hands of all individuals through a mental health plan of action with a modern nuance that feels relevant to the realities of today.

By interweaving different types of therapy, we collaborate towards your goals in a way that's effective and respectful of your time, energy and money. Each session can be useful - I track this carefully by asking for feedback and by giving choices on how we work together. The time in-between sessions also is used - through practice 'homework' we choose individually, as a couple or as a family, or through observation/thinking. This helps us to identify what helps you to change or restrains you from change - we can then work together from an attitude of curiosity rather than "shoulds".

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, burnt out? Are mental health struggles keeping you from living your best life? These symptoms are telling you that it’s time for change. I understand it takes a lot of courage to ask for help, but you don’t have to do it alone. I can help you find balance and teach you skills to sustain wellbeing. I provide holistic and evidence-based interventions specific to your goals, including (but not limited to) art therapy, mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy. I can help you process your past experiences, and we can work together to better resolve current challenges as well as celebrate the joys.

Deeply passionate about social justice and facilitating and guiding positive change and development in the lives of others, I am thrilled to connect with you as you begin your journey inward.
