Beginning the journey to heal from trauma, address difficulties that come with being human in relation to others and all of the external circumstances over which we have no control is courageous. Having the right therapist for you to do this deeply personal emotional work is important because it is in that relationship that healing and growth can occur. In me, you will find a style that is authentic, warm, empathetic, compassionate, nonjudgmental and engaging.
I use a variety of strength based approaches including evidenced based to help you feel seen, heard and understood while being curious with you to find new ways of adapting, understanding our complex self and creating the space for connection, joy and fulfillment.
I earned my MSW at Boston University School of Social Work and completed clinical training at The Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. I have certificates in trauma informed practice and grief counseling and treatment.
