I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts. I have several advanced degrees in counseling and psychology, including a doctorate. I have been working with individuals at some level of counseling for 20 years but have been working as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor at various stages as I worked toward licensure for nearly 10 years. I like to take a short-term goal-oriented approach in my work with clients.
In their first session, clients can expect a thorough information-gathering session in which I get to know the clients and their needs.
My greatest strength as a provider is my desire to assist individuals to identify issues they are facing and develop appropriate ways to face them.
I am best positioned to serve individuals looking for short-term, goal-oriented work, individuals who would simply like to discuss issues they are facing or anybody who feels I am a good fit for their needs.
I use CBT to help those I work with develop new and helpful ways of thinking. This helps individuals learn how to better deal with life situations and decrease distress.
