I enjoy helping individuals and couples with stress and relationship issues as well as relapse prevention and drug and alcohol recovery counseling.

Talking about heavy emotions is sometimes hard to do and maybe equally as difficult to open up to a new therapist. I am a licensed clinical social worker earning my MSW from Bridgewater State University. My style is warm and compassionate. I offer the client to set the pace which allows time to share their experiences in a safe, comfortable space. I believe in using a client-centered and strengths based approach to help inform the work we do together. I will work alongside you to develop a realistic treatment plan to help you reach your desired goals and outcomes.

Our humanity connects us through common experiences which impact our choices, leading to individual and unique stories. These stories often contain narratives of stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, loss and grief. Yet, throughout these stories are also stories of strength, resilience, and hope. My treatment philosophy focuses on identifying a client’s strengths, support systems and resources, interests and abilities -to shore up the foundation upon which strategies and skills can be built to improve a person’s sense of self and confidence to work towards achieving their goals.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
