Northeast Health Services is an outpatient mental health care provider dedicated to serving Massachusetts and the local Sudbury area. At our Sudbury clinic we provide a broad array of services including psychotherapy, group therapy, child & adolescent therapy, child & adolescent psychiatry, adult psychiatry, medication management, and TMS therapy.

My ideal adolescent/adult client is a person who is struggling in their life and is ready to take back control. They are ready to make changes because they have hope to get more out of life. They may be struggling with depression or anxiety. Perhaps they are dealing with a significant loss or change in their life. My ideal child client is one who is experiencing difficulties in with their mood or behavior that is affecting them inside and/or out of the home. This child has an adult in their life who recognizes their need mental health care and wishes to work collaboratively to foster positive change.

Does your teen have worries and negative thoughts or feelings related to school, home or peers? I can help. With over 25 years of experience working with pre-teens, adolescents and adults, I have worked extensively with several schools in the Boston Metrowest area. I understand the intricacies of the home/school connection and am adept at partnering with parents to facilitate collaboration with all providers in the child’s environment. I have successfully worked with adolescents and families to address a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and ADD/ADHD.

Beginning therapy can be a daunting process and I hope that I can help getting you started as simple as possible. I utilize an empathetic, strength-based approach, with foundations in DBT and CBT. I believe that each person’s journey is unique and successful treatment happens by meeting the client where they are at and taking a collaborative approach to help them reach their goals. I specialize in working with youth, LGBTQI+, and peri and postpartum individuals.

I primarily work with tween and teen girls ages in 6th grade and up. I also provide parenting consultation and support. I see kids typically experiencing anxiety, stress, peer difficulties, family complexities, and/or low self-esteem. My style is based on being an approachable, funny, and down-to-earth adult who your child can trust. My job is not to solve their problems but to help them develop the tools to do so themselves without experiencing high-stress levels. I have a specialty in the behavioral approaches to child and teen weight loss for kids struggling with overweight or obesity.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in private practice with over a decade of experience working with adolescents and their families in their homes and in the community. In addition to working with adolescents and their family's I see young adults ages 18-35 virtually. I do my best work with adolescents who “don’t like therapy” or who have struggled to connect or engage with other therapists in the past. This happens for lots of reasons–but one major one is that sometimes sitting in an office staring at one another just feels too threatening.

It has been my experience that many of us become frozen by yesterday to the point that tomorrow evokes anxiety and today becomes lost. I will help you reconnect to the here and now & together we will design a treatment plan that will allow you to move past stuck and start living the life you deserve!

I have provided psychotherapy focused on anxiety, depression and trauma for over 30 years. During that time, I have worked with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My focus is on helping my clients to see their own strengths and use them to reduce their symptoms, allowing them to become unstuck and move forward to establish happier, healthier lives. I have a strong focus on transitions of all types. These include the transitions of adolescents from childhood to young adulthood, and the difficulty inherent in transitioning from being the parent of a toddler, to being the parent of a challenging adolescent.

I enjoy working with adults and teens looking to clarify goals, work more effectively with challenging emotions, and, using Mary Oliver's eloquent words, help them answer the question "what do you plan to do with your one wild and precious life." I use strength-based approaches to help clients set and achieve goals and boost happiness. Having experience as a school-based therapist and as a parent, I am helpful as a parent coach/mentor/therapist and enjoy working with teens regarding school-related challenges.

Does your child or adolescent struggle with social skills or making friends? Does your child or adolescent need support in emotional regulation? Are there experiences at home or in school that have created more stress in your family or child's life? My focus as therapist is on social-emotional development of children and adolescents in fun, safe, and engaging ways! I integrate art, meditation, cognitive-behavioral techniques and interactive games in sessions.

When was the last time that you felt truly listened to, heard & understood? You more than likely talk to many people throughout your day but how often are you making connections with others that feel truly authentic? Many people are currently feeling isolated even when surrounded by others because they do not have someone in their life creating a welcoming and safe space that allows them to feel comfortable enough to share their worries & struggles. Therapy can be this place, where building a trusting relationship with a compassionate practitioner can allow you to feel seen & can support improvements in your health & well-being.

Creativity & Compassion, Mindful Awareness, Health & Resiliency. These are the guiding principles I use to teach people skills to address difficulties in the present, gain a healthier perspective about the past, disengage from fear of the future, embrace & find pleasure in the life that is here. I offer personalized support to women, young adults, & teens struggling with circumstantial, developmental, or health-related transitions.

Given that I am still early into my career in the mental health counseling field, I am really open and eager to work with a wide array of clients. In my previous experiences, I have worked with individuals with a variety of needs and diagnoses and I am hoping to continue that through my work at Northeast Health Services! Ideally, I would want to work with someone who is hoping to strive for growth and success in their lives.

Successful navigation of life's challenges is easier with support. Perhaps you are facing new developmental stages or life transitions, struggling with anxiety or depressed mood, worried about your child or other family member, dealing with trauma or loss, or managing challenging relationships. I offer individual therapy for teens and adults as well as parenting support and family therapy. I create a safe environment for clients to identify goals, take emotional risks and set out on individualized paths toward reaching goals and maximizing full potential. I bring warmth and compassion to each therapeutic encounter and relationship.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults to address common challenges relating to depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, and family conflict. I approach treatment collaboratively and will work with you to develop a plan to help you and/or your child meet your goals. My approach is integrative, and draws on effective evidence-based treatments - including insight oriented approaches (psychodynamic), skill building approaches (cognitive-behavioral), and other collaborative and developmental interventions. Calm attention, compassion, energy, and creativity are important components of my approach; I recognize that therapy is a considerable commitment, and I am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive environment for our work.

An ideal client is someone who is motivated, open to change, and actively engaged in the therapeutic process. An ideal client is someone who is ready to challenge themselves and be self reflective. Honestly, anyone who is willing to put the work in and be present in the process.
