We all have patterns, or habits, in the way in which we relate with ourselves, others, the world. Some of these patterns serve us well, and some of them don't; some of them served us well at some point in our lives, and they no longer do. My approach seeks to balance the compassion to be with and accept where you are now, with the courage to step in a new direction, to create new ways of relating with yourself and the world. I have experience working with children, families and adults, with specific focuses on anxiety and OCD, trauma, depression, oppositional behavior and family relationships, transitions, and substance abuse.

I am glad to support those struggling in today's strange climate, or those looking to explore themselves and increase health and wellness while quarantined. My approach to treatment is strength based and multimodal. I use a holistic approach that can incorporate discussion, art, movement and humor to explore issues. I work well with those who have had trouble connecting with therapists in the past and those who may be resistant to entering treatment.

My clients don't come to therapy to hear someone nod and agree with everything they say—that's not worth their time or money. They want real help. They want to know "what to do" and "how to fix it" because they're struggling with depression, severe anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, suicidal thoughts, parenting issues, and other painful situations. They're looking for a true expert that they can actually talk to. I am a member of PSYPACT which means I can see clients in every state that is a member of PSYPACT and I'm also licensed in MA.
