Choosing a therapist is a very personal decision! A safe place free of judgment is crucial, and I strive to offer that. As the sole practitioner at Open Perspectives LLC, I will offer you a secure, supportive environment to allow you to focus on goals that are specific to your needs. I offer a client-centered, eclectic combination of therapeutic approaches, in an authentic, relatable way. Processing experiences, working to change unhelpful patterns, and building skills and strategies are just a few of the steps we can take together to move toward lasting change.
I have over 7 years of experience supporting patients & families impacted by cancer. I'm licensed in Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, with 12 years of experience. I have been intensively trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), & certified as a Transgender Care Therapist.
Still feeling uncertain? That is to be expected, so let's chat! I offer a free initial phone consultation to answer questions and determine your comfort with moving forward. I accept insurance, self pay, offer a sliding fee scale, and flexible scheduling to promote increased access to therapy for all who seek it.

I am trained in the use of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and often use therapeutic interventions that involve concepts rooted in DBT. It is important to hold space for ALL our emotions, even when they seem in direct opposition to one another. Together, we can work to acknowledge your thoughts and feelings, how they impact your life experiences, and build skills to promote feelings of empowerment.
