Therapists in Plymouth, MA

Deciding to seek out therapy can be difficult and making a connection with the right person even more so. Knowing something about the person you are hoping can help you can make the start of the process easier. I began working in the field at 16 for an afterschool program at an outside placement school, things progressed from there. From then to now I completed a BS in Business and an MEd in Counseling & School Adjustment, I obtained an LCMHC in NH and LMHC in MA. I have worked with individuals, couples and families in many settings including schools, residential programs, detention settings, office settings and in the community.

I earned a Bachelor's degree in psychology from University of Massachusetts, Lowell, in 1989. I obtained my Master's degree in mental health counseling form Suffolk University in 1993. I completed my certification in graduate studies in counseling at Lesley University in 2006.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and earned my Master of Social Work from Simmons University. An area of focus in my practice is children and adolescents impacted by trauma and neuro-developmental diversity. I continued my education in a 1-year advanced post-graduate social work LEND fellowship at Boston Children’s Hospital and also worked on their Emergency Psychiatry team. I also hold an advanced training Certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies from the Trauma Research Foundation.

Seeking therapy can be a difficult step for most, but is often the first step towards healing and growth. With a specialty in trauma work, I provide a place of support to children, adolescents, adults and couples who are experiencing challenges with relationships, anxiety/depression, boundary formation, and grief. I believe in clients being the experts of their own experiences and offer a safe and supportive environment to explore opportunities for change and to establish new skills to support overall mental health and wellness.

We believe in using the expressive arts to help families and children gain a deeper understanding of themselves.
