Hello, I am a LICSW from Massachusetts. I work most effectively with individuals struggling with identity, depression, and issues of stagnation in life. I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, identity, and complex stressors, especially if complicated by varied relationship and familial dynamics. I aim to assist individuals desiring greater motivation, purpose, and self-determination following unresolved trauma and unforeseen hardships. I hope to support individuals seeking mental health stability, peace, and personal clarity.
Our first session will be an introductory session. You will have an opportunity to tell me about you; to share your experiences, challenges, and other relevant details related to what you would like to accomplish during our scheduled sessions.
I believe my strengths as a provider is my genuine appreciation for being able to help my clients solve complex emotional challenges and foster the most integral and enduring parts of themselves.
I have worked extensively with young, middle-aged adults, and young professionals in search of more emotional balance, seeking tools and self-insights to cultivate a prevailing sense of purpose and understanding of self.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT in an integrative capacity and as singular model to address mental health struggles associated with undesirable or unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
ACT is a highly preferred modality; I've used it for years to intervene with disabling behaviors and emotions towards increasing sense of self, self acceptance, and behavioral change.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I used DBT as a singular and integrative modality for developing mindfulness, self awareness, and emotional intelligence to improve issues of self control, emotional regulation, and managing stressors.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I use EFT treatment to aid with emotional processing of stress, trauma, and relationship challenges.
