First session
You can expect to review limitations to confidentiality, a semi-structured interview to understand you and your needs better, and time to ask any questions you may have.
Strengths
My clinical work has included emergency and inpatient psychiatric care at Boston Children’s Hospital, integrated behavioral health in pediatric primary care, and school-based therapy. I’ve supported clients through acute crises, complex trauma, developmental neurodivergence, and emotional and behavioral challenges, working collaboratively with families, providers, and systems to ensure holistic, coordinated care.
Ideal clients
I bring a deep passion for both teaching and learning to my practice, and I aim to create a warm, inclusive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. I lead sessions with empathy and unconditional positive regard, tailoring my approach to meet each individual’s unique strengths, needs, and goals.
