(she/her)
Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts. I received my Masters from the Montclair State University and have been practicing for 7 years. I help young adults struggling with anxiety, parenthood, postpartum, and life stressors by using the Internal Family Systems model of therapy. I have completed my Level 1 training in the IFS model, and love bringing this gentle healing model to clients.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into what is bringing your into therapy right now. We will introduce the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of therapy and begin with a mindfulness exercise that you can bring into your week.
Having worked with young adults (and gone through this life transition myself!), I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you identify the parts of yourself that are most overwhelmed by anxiety and provide tangible steps to build resilience and healthy ways of coping.
I love working with young adults who are in the early parenthood stage of life. My clients are eager to improve their symptoms and reduce stress, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel overwhelmed, anxious, and stuck during a challenging period of their lives.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I am an Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level 1 trained therapist. I use the IFS model to help you explore the various parts of you that make up who you are. IFS is an evidence-based practice for trauma in addition to being an effective treatment model for those who prefer a mindfulness-based approach to anxiety, depression, life transitions, or other mental health concerns. Sessions are structure utilizing guided meditation activities, creative prompts, discussion, and deep personal exploration that can be specifically tailored to each client's individual comfort level and needs.
