I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Massachusetts, and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Connecticut. I have a background in the sciences (medical research), and changed careers 7 years ago, to help people on a more personal level. I use my knowledge of physical health to help people who struggle with chronic illness, and/or pain. I also have experience working with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, panic, social anxiety, and trauma.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, I try to keep things as light as possible, while gathering information, and getting to know you. Please feel free to ask me any questions, and let me know how you are feeling.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My intention is to maintain a comfortable listening space, to understand your challenges, and to work together on a plan for moving forward. I feel that overall health, mindfulness, and improving sleep can play a large part in improving mental health. I also try to incorporate laughter into my work….laughter is good medicine!
