I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) licensed in Massachusetts and have been in the field for 14 years. I am a member of the LGBTQ community. I have worked in various therapeutic settings in the past 14 years from residential treatment facilities to outpatient counseling. I strive to create a therapeutic space where we can work on your individual goals and specialize in patients experiencing anxiety & depression. I would describe myself as observant, an active listener, compassionate and maintain an environment free of judgement.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will have brief introductions and what made you want to seek therapy. From there, I believe in continuing to build rapport and developing a treatment plan with tailored goals to work towards. By the conclusion of the first session, we can decide how often therapy will be helpful for you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
It is important for me to assist you in creating treatment goals targeted at decreasing your unwanted feelings regardless of your diagnosis. As a provider, I will be an active listener and provide psychoeducation that is helpful to your situation.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with a wide array of cliental from older adults struggling with change and adjustments to younger adults trying to manage their unwanted feelings throughout their everyday life. I have experience working with families and conducting family therapy as well. I am open to using some sessions as opportunities to include members that are vital in assisting you to meet your therapeutic goals.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I have used DBT as one of the main modes of therapy and have been using this since the start of my career. I do believe it's vital components: Mindfulness, Emotional Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness and Distress Tolerance can be useful for most clients.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is another mode of therapy I use often and have practiced since the start of my career. Thoughts, feelings and behaviors are important and it is vital to understand why you may act in certain ways. Improving self-awareness of this area can help most people be their best selves.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I do have experience using trauma focused CBT. This model will be helpful for those who have experienced trauma and are not ready to process it but want to eventually recover from it. The steps of TF-CBT can be life changing for those with a trauma history.
Trauma Informed Care
I practice from the mindset of being trauma informed. This is a fancy way of indicating that I am nonjudgemental. I am always curious of behaviors to attempt to understand why my clients may act the way they do and feel the feelings they experience.
