Please Note: the only MassHealth plan I can accept at this time is Tufts Health Together (public plan). - -I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is essential to making progress in therapy. I strive to create a supportive and non-judgmental space for us to begin our work together. I am an active therapist and will work collaboratively with you to make therapy goals, learn and practice new coping skills, and solve problems.
I am passionate about working with pregnant and postpartum caregivers and caregivers of children with developmental challenges. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques along with other therapeutic strategies to create positive and lasting changes in mental health symptoms.
I am a white, cisgender female. I have extensive experience working with People of Color, first- and second-generation immigrants and LGBTQIA+ folx. I am committed to integrating social, racial, and economic justice in all aspects of my work. I am fluent in English and have conversational skills in Spanish.
