Let's Connect (508) 433-3345

I am passionate about providing holistic, client centered care to those who seek out services. I firmly believe the client is the expert in their own life and I am honored to be invited into their life experience. I prioritize creating a strong therapeutic relationship, utilizing empathy and sometimes a bit of humor to connect with my clients while also incorporating evidenced-based modalities into treatment with a lens of trauma informed care.
I specialize in trauma, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, life transitions, family dynamics, and LGBTQ+ issues. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment for the client to explore areas of struggle and promote growth in whatever way that looks like to the client at the time.
If this sounds like something that could be the right fit for you, please feel free to reach out!
