About Me

I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of MA and nationally certified counselor specializing in individual therapy.

I have been working in the mental health field since 2006 in various roles. I got my start working at a summer camp for kids on the Autism Spectrum. I  also worked as the lead clinician in an IHT (In Home Therapy) role. This is a service for individuals under age 21 and is a level of care between therapy in an office weekly and being placed into a mental health hospital setting. During this time I worked with children who had been diagnosed with a serious mental health condition with significant safety issues that placed them at risk of mental health hospitalization. My role was to work with both this child and their family in order to try to keep this child in the home and out of the hospital. This work also included frequent telephone contact with other providers and team meetings as well as school advocacy and connecting families to other community based services in the area. Since 2009, I have also worked as an individual therapist with people from age 5 to adult with a wide variety of mental health diagnoses. I am a graduate of the University of Massachusetts specializing in Mental Health Counseling.. My areas of expertise include children, Autism Spectrum Disorders (and other areas of neurodivergence), Anger Management/ Emotion Regulation in children,  Anxiety Disorders, Trauma and PTSD. I have had extensive training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF CBT).

In 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, I realized there was going to be an increase in need for mental health so I expanded my private practice to including helping amazing therapists launch private practices. 

My therapeutic approach is to provide support by active listening and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.
