WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR VISIT
Learn About My Methods
I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the patient and caretaker alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.
GET TO KNOW ME
Ever since I was young, I knew I wanted to get into a career path that would make a difference in people’s lives. This interest led me to obtain my Bachelor's degree at the College of William and Mary and eventually to obtain my Master's of Social Work at Boston College. As a fully independent licensed Therapist in the greater Boston area, I am committed to the well-being of all my patients and go above and beyond to cater to their needs.
I have experience working with a wide variety of clients. My experience includes working with children, youth, and families navigating complex traumas, to adults with a mental illness, or co-occurring disorders.
My expertise includes trauma focused therapy, LGBTQ+ focused counseling, loss and bereavement, relationship and individual problems, depression and anxiety issues, and working towards motivation to change.
When not working, I love spending time with my family, dogs, and being outdoors.
