Most of my experience since 2009 has been with groups, adults, and adolescents with self-harming behaviors, relationship issues, behavioral issues, anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders.
Hello and welcome to therapy! Emotions such as anxiety, fear, sadness, and anger can keep us stuck in negative situations and from progressing in our career and relationships. The first step to change is awareness. Speaking with a compassionate and competent professional can help you unlock your potential toward a more genuine version of you. I work from a client-centered counseling perspective, meaning that I approach the therapeutic relationship warmly, genuinely, and without judgment. My approach is to team with you to identify goals and help you create meaningful techniques that will assist you in reaching your goals.

I specialize in treating complex trauma, dissociation, substance use, and coping with neurodivergent identities.
I am an empathic therapist with 19 years therapy experience. Clients often come to me with a loss of (or never developed) sense of self, difficulties in relationships, and feeling unsafe in the world due to trauma and neurodivergence. I assist my clients in transforming their deepest pain into their greatest strengths, finding passion in life, and embracing their identities. They learn to have deep meaningful relationships with self & others. Clients expand their perspectives on what is possible in this life. I also love working with therapists; their personal work enhances their own practice!

My approach addresses unhealthy coping mechanisms developed as survival strategies, which can lead to negative thought patterns, conflict avoidance, anxiety, poor boundaries, substance use, and low self-esteem.

Before that, I focused on grief work, meaning making, and death & dying in ICU and Oncology settings. I hold a Master of Social Work from Boston University and a Master of Divinity with a focus on grief from Duke University.

Six years ago, I began working in substance use disorder treatment centers in various roles.
My goal is to give my clients something tangible to find some immediate relief. I use a collaborative process to find solutions that make sense to clients. I often work through a solution-focused lens and find it important to explore our past but not spend all of our time there.

This can include healing from trauma, substance use/misuse, career issues, strengthening coping skills, and honing a growth mindset.
I work to build an authentic relationship with each person based on attention, empathetic listening, and working together to find the words that name the story of your experience as you have lived it. As we reread and rewrite your story together, we will hold and honor the complexity of your experiences, hopes, and fears with a perspective of compassion.
