I have training and experience in many aspects of human development including the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of mental health problems, adjustment issues, and educational challenges. My professional experience includes clinical work in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings. I have worked with children who have attention problems, learning difficulties, behavioral issues, anxiety, mood disturbances as well as serious mental health disorders. My experience also includes helping adults with depressive symptoms, anxiety, adjustment issues, and marital concerns. I am also certified in child and adolescent trauma
I offer both in-person and virtual sessions. I have recently earned my certification in EMDR, catering to children, adolescent and adults who have experienced extreme trauma and anxiety. My treatment modalities are tailored to what the individual needs. I am now accepting BCBSMA, United and Aetna in MA for Telehealth appointments only
If you are tired of suffering, please don't go it alone. I am here to help you get back to your former beautiful self. Contact me today and we will both go on the wonderful journey of reclaiming your life back.
