LMHC
5 years of experience
Virtual

I'm an LMHC based in Massachusetts, holding a Master's from Fitchburg State University, and have been practicing for 5 years. My therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that individuals are the authorities in their own lives. That's why I lean into a person-centered, strength-based approach, tailoring therapy to each person's unique struggles. Collaboration is essential in my practice; together, we set mental health goals and explore treatment options that align with their journey toward growth and well-being.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our initial session, we'll begin with introductions and gather some of your personal history before delving into the specific obstacles you're encountering. This information will enable me to craft a personalized plan for our subsequent sessions, focused on addressing your unique needs.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a provider, I believe my greatest strengths lie in my ability to deeply empathize with my clients and create a safe, supportive environment for them to explore their challenges. Drawing from over 5 years of experience, I've honed my skills in utilizing a strength-based approach, empowering individuals to recognize and build upon their innate resilience and capabilities. I take pride in fostering a collaborative relationship with my clients, where their voices are heard, and their strengths are valued. This compassionate and empowering approach allows me to guide my clients toward meaningful growth and positive change.

My treatment methods

Strength-Based

Strengths-based therapy is like shining a spotlight on all the awesome things you're already good at. Instead of just focusing on problems, we dig into your strengths and talents to help you tackle challenges with confidence. In a session, we chat about what makes you awesome, what you're proud of, and how we can use those strengths to make life even better. It's all about boosting your self-belief and finding creative solutions together.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is like having a toolkit for your mind. It helps us dig into how your thoughts, feelings, and actions are all connected. In our sessions, we might chat about what's been bothering you lately and then brainstorm ways to tackle it together. It's all about finding new ways to think about things and trying out different approaches to see what works best for you. It's like a teamwork between us to help you feel better and make positive changes in your life.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational interviewing is like chatting with a gentle nudge towards positive change. In our sessions, I use it to help you figure out what really matters to you and what might be holding you back. I'll listen, ask questions, and give you a little boost of encouragement to help you take those steps forward when you're ready. It's all about teamwork and finding your own path to a happier, healthier you.
