Please reach out if you are interested in starting therapy. Utilizing a psychodynamic base to build a daily functionality, I work in reflection and helping you identify patterns in order to move forward in your life. Psychodynamic therapy relies on you identifying and bringing forth how you are feeling, thinking, and noting about yourself. I am here to listen, reflect and support you. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, Personality and Bipolar disorders. I am also a Divorce Mediator accepting couples and families wishing to kindly separate in the best interests of themselves and their family.
I received my Master in Social Work from Simmons School of Social Work in 2017, previously having a long career in a creative industry. I have experience in outpatient, residential, and forensic settings. I utilize my past creative career as an understanding of why all of us make choices in our lives.
