*Action-oriented Therapist* Most anxiety and depression evolve from procrastination, which leads to inaction. I have the ability to help people who are looking to take action on their goals which require behavioral change. Change becomes natural once a person understands their unintentional programming from childhood. I do not prescribe medication; however, I can refer you to a Grow Provider if need be. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Massachusetts and I love helping people reach their maximum potential! I spent 23 years in the military travelling the world before I retired and decided to commit the rest of my life toward helping others. I have been providing therapy successfully for over eight years with many successes for clients who are looking to do the work necessary to live their best life. You can read my reviews on healthgrades.com that have been posted by former clients. If you are ready to put in the effort, you will make progress!

I bring something to individual and couples therapy that is rare today and not from a text book, that is lived experience. In drawing from different evidence based schools of thought in combination with my lived experiences we will employ such modalities of therapy such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. Adversity and struggle are situations that are common. The goal to avoid both would be ideal but that is not reality. Peace and calmness in the mist of adversity and struggle is a possible reality and what we will strive to help you achieve.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals find resilience, hope, and emotional balance during life's most challenging times. At the heart of my practice is the belief that therapy is a collaborative process rooted in empathy, authenticity, and respect. Life's challenges-whether brought on by illness, aging, loss, trauma, family distress, or change-can be overwhelming, but they also offer opportunities for growth. Through a supportive and integrative therapeutic approach, I help individuals build coping strategies, improve relationships, and create lasting positive change. I aim to empower individuals to reconnect with their strengths, deepen their self-understanding, and move forward with clarity and confidence. I spent the first 8 years of my career working at the Department of Veterans Affairs working in an acute hospital setting helping individuals deal with acute and chronic illnesses, aging, trauma and life transitions. I also have extensive experience working with caregivers and families dealing with difficult transitions, grief and caregiver burnout. I look forward to meeting you and helping you grow and create positive change in your life.

Trauma and PTSD
My path to becoming a therapist was deeply influenced by my experiences in the military. Witnessing both indirect and direct trauma firsthand, I gained a profound understanding of the human capacity for resilience, but also the critical need for accessible and compassionate mental health support. Those experiences ignited a passion within me to provide a safe haven for individuals navigating their own challenges. I saw the power of healing and the importance of having a supportive space to process difficult emotions and experiences. This journey led me to dedicate my life to helping others, recognizing the strength it takes to seek help and the transformative power of therapy. My military background has instilled in me a deep sense of empathy, discipline, and commitment to serving others, qualities I bring to every session. I understand the unique challenges faced by those who have experienced trauma, and I'm dedicated to providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment where healing can begin.

During a 13-year career in industry working as an engineer, I became inspired through a steady variety of volunteer work helping others within my community. I returned to school and earned my Master of Social Work degree. Recognizing that our body actively participates in all of our life experiences, I completed my Massage Therapy Certification. As I continued to work with more people in therapy, I learned about a novel approach that I could use to bridge these two disciplines, and I became a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner. I am licensed as a Clinical Social Worker and I virtually assist folks living in Florida, North Carolina, and Massachusetts. For over 30 years I have worked with people within adolescent, adult, and elder populations, US military veterans, and folks in the LGBTQIA+ community. Many have struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, gender incongruence, mood disorders, psychosis, substance use disorders, grief and loss, and chronic pain and illness.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Massachusetts rather than a city like Boston?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Massachusetts from Springfield to Cape Cod! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Massachusetts.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Military/Veterans?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Military/Veterans, is filtering therapists in Massachusetts that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
