About me

Hi, I'm a Licensed (Clinical) Mental Health Counselor based in Massachusetts. I am licensed in Massachusetts and Vermont. I received my Master's Degree from Johnson State College (now Northern Vermont University - Johnson Campus) and have been practicing in a variety of settings for 11 years, including inpatient psychiatric hospitals, community mental health agencies, and private practice settings. I help adults struggling with various addictions, anxiety/depression, and/or LGBTQ+ issues to become the best version of yourself.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I utilize a variety of techniques in therapy, trying to find what will work best for you. Person-centered, Person-focused. These techniques are likely to include dialogue, cognitive reframing, awareness exercises, visualization, journal keeping, drawing, and/or reading books. Ultimately, I am here to help you work through what is happening and achieve your identified goals. I provide a judgement and shame free space. I can help turn your vulnerabilities into your strengths.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Do you find difficulty in approaching feelings or thoughts that you have tried not to think about because they may be painful? Making changes in your beliefs or behaviors can be scary and sometimes disruptive to the relationships you already have. It's important to consider carefully whether these risks are worth the benefits to you of changing. Most people who take these risks find it beneficial.
