I am a independently licensed clinician, LMHC, in Massachusetts. I am currently doing telehealth only. My office hours vary by week, but I do offer session times before and after the traditional work week schedule to accommodate client needs. I love learning and relating with metaphors and quotes, so I will leave you with this one: “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” -Viktor Frankl
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will get to know each other. I want to know what's going on, what your expectations are, and then we will have a conversation about what we want to accomplish together in therapy. If nothing else, you will leave your first session feeling heard and validated. Then, together we create a plan on tackling your presenting problems.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having been in the field for almost 10 years, I feel my greatest strength as a clinician is looking at every new client and presenting problem from a place of empathy and non-jundgement while also having confidence, knowledge, and experience to bring to the table. If after the first session, it is clear that I am not able to meet your expectations or assist you with your presenting problem, I will help you find a clinician who is.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
My main hope for therapy is to support humans as they navigate the complex world of human emotion, mental health, and relationships. A good life can be hard, complicated, and challenging while a difficult life can still be rewarding, fulfilling, and well-lived. I seek to join with those who are struggling with that complexity to help them achieve the goals they have for themselves, to help them cope with inherent disappointments, losses, and stressors, and feel the joy of personal growth.
