New to Grow
I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with nearly twenty years of experience across community mental health, forensic settings, and psychiatric emergency services. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship challenges, and chronic pain, including specialized experience with veterans, for which I received the 2023 Judge Paul F. Healey Award for Veterans Services. My approach is relational, warm and non-judgmental, integrating CBT, mindfulness-based methods, and Pain Reprocessing Therapy to address the connection between mind, body, and overall well-being. I tailor treatment to each person's strengths, goals, and pace, and I believe real change happens when clients feel genuinely seen and safe enough to go deeper.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we'll spend time getting to know each other. I'll ask about what brought you to therapy, your history, and your goals for our work together. I'd also like to understand what has or hasn't worked for you in the past, as well as any specific concerns you want to address. By the end of the session, you'll have a sense of how I work, and I hope you'll feel heard and find a sense of relief. There's no pressure to have everything figured out on day one; we'll build that understanding together over time.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I bring a thoughtful, open-minded, and compassionate approach to every session. I show up prepared and fully present, and I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all process. My orientation is rooted in mindfulness and somatic work, helping clients slow down enough to notice what's actually happening for them in the moment, rather than getting swept up in it. I pair this mind-body focus with structured, practical tools when needed, allowing our treatment to move between deep, present-focused work and concrete skills depending on what's most useful for you.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work well with clients who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, chronic pain, addiction, or relationship struggles, and I have particular experience with veterans. I'm a good fit for clients who tend to intellectualize or explain away what they're feeling, because I'll gently keep bringing us back to what's happening underneath. I also work with people dealing with pain or physical symptoms that don't have a clear medical explanation, using Pain Reprocessing Therapy to explore the connection between mind and body. My ideal client is someone who's open to being challenged at times, not just validated, and who wants a therapist who'll notice patterns and name them.

My treatment methods
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use mindfulness to help clients notice what's happening in their thoughts, feelings, and body in the present moment, instead of getting stuck reacting to them automatically. In practice, this might look like slowing down during a session to really sit with something difficult, rather than rushing past it, or learning simple techniques you can use outside of session when anxiety or stress start to take over. Over time, this builds the ability to respond to hard moments with more choice and less autopilot.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
ACT is about learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them or trying to push them away, while still moving toward the things that matter most to you. Rather than aiming to eliminate anxiety or sadness altogether, we work on your relationship to those feelings, so they take up less space and stop running the show. A lot of this work centers on values, such as figuring out what actually matters to you, and taking steps toward that even when it's uncomfortable.
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
ERP is typically used for anxiety, OCD, and specific fears, and involves gradually facing a feared thought or situation instead of avoiding it or engaging in a compulsion to reduce distress. Over time, this helps retrain the nervous system to recognize that the feared outcome doesn't happen, or that the anxiety passes on its own, which reduces the fear response and the need for avoidance or compulsions. We build this up gradually and collaboratively, so it never feels like more than you're ready for.
Somatic
Somatic therapy pays attention to how emotions and stress show up in the body, not just in thoughts. In session, this might mean noticing tension, a shift in breathing, or a physical sensation as it happens, and using that information as a way into what's really going on. Sometimes we'll work directly with the body through grounding techniques or simple body awareness exercises to help release stress or distress that's stored physically, not just talked through.
