Hello. I am a licensed clinical social worker in Boston, MA with over 20 years of experience in both clinical settings and private practice. My style is flexible and includes elements of psychodynamic therapy as well as solution focused techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy. People often find their way to treatment due to a life transition or circumstance in which the usual methods of coping no longer are effective. Finding a connection with a supportive experienced therapist can be invaluable in not only managing the transition but finding greater meaning going forward.

Maybe you’re experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, compulsive behaviors, or something else entirely. Things friends and family aren’t equipped to help you deal with. I can help.

I am a clinical social worker who specializes in working with healthcare providers and first responders.

I am a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor located in Dorchester, Massachusetts. I have worked in substance abuse for 8 years by helping men and women fight their addictions. As someone who has personally witnessed the struggles of battling drug addiction, I have come to understand that “the change is in the thinking...not the doing.” This means that any changes we want to make must begin with the way we think about things. Our thoughts impact our actions. Thoughts may be deeply impacted by past traumas, anxiety, the environment in which you were raised, depression, or relationships, and may prevent us from being our best selves.

Integrative Healthcare Center—for mental health and behavioral health. We offer licensed therapists, prescription management, psychiatry, autism care, and more. Integrative medicine, as defined by the U.S. Government’s National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, explores many treatment avenues, working with patients to heal the whole person, not just one organ system. Integrative Healthcare Center fills a void in the healthcare landscape. Mental health services are hard to find. With providers scarce and in demand, even established patients find themselves waiting months for treatment.

Healing is not about control, but about learning to adapt and move forward with your life as you repair your relationships and find balance. In my decade of professional experience, including my tenure as a clinician and Senior Manager of Outpatient Services at Mountainside treatment center, I have sown a passion for helping people in their journey for healing and sobriety. At Mountainside, I design curriculums for clinical programming and incorporate Interpersonal Neurobiology and a trauma responsive framework into one-on-one counseling, group therapy, family sessions, and supervision.

I take a "meet people where they're at" approach so that no matter what stage of recovery a person is in they would never feel judged because they are "not ready". My experience compiles working in the field since 2002 for several substance use agencies in urban and suburban areas as well as a prior 10 years of "field research" with years integrated living experience. My personal life has shown that incorporating a strong recovery support system with a foundation in spirituality of any kind can bring a lasting, satisfying life in recovery.
