Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Amherst, MA

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or life experiences that have left them feeling disconnected from themselves or uncertain about how to move forward. I believe that healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and accepted. I am passionate about helping clients recognize their strengths, reconnect with their authentic selves, and build lives that feel more grounded, meaningful, and aligned with who they are.

I earned my Master's degree from Springfield College in 2007 and bring nearly two decades of clinical experience across a wide range of settings, including outpatient clinics, in-home therapy, residential treatment, juvenile justice programs, school-based services, and as a school adjustment counselor. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how trauma, relationships, and life experiences shape emotional well-being across the lifespan. While my background includes extensive work with children, adolescents, and families, my practice is primarily focused on supporting teens and adults who are navigating life's challenges. I am committed to providing culturally responsive, affirming care that honors each person's unique identity and lived experience.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Drug & Alcohol Counselor with 8 years of experience working with adults. I specialize in substance use disorders, crisis intervention, suicidal ideation, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and personality disorders — areas I approach with both clinical rigor and genuine compassion. I work exclusively through telehealth, which means you can connect with me from wherever you feel most at ease. My practice is intentionally small, so I can give each person the focused time and attention they deserve. I come to this work having seen the real impact that burnout, stigma, and lack of support can have — and I believe everyone deserves care that meets them where they are.

I believe that therapy can have a great impact on one's life. If one is motivated, one can resolve problems, feel better, and address past hardships. I have over thirty years of experience helping clients achieve their goals in a supportive and safe environment. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I received my undergraduate degree from Stanford University and my Masters of Social Work from Columbia University. I have resided in both the United States and Latin America.

I specialize in supporting individuals who have experienced trauma and adversity, and I approach therapy from a holistic perspective—seeing each client as a whole person within the context of their environment.

My work is rooted in being trauma-informed, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I often integrate somatic therapy and mindfulness, recognizing that trauma is carried not only in the mind but also in the body. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their experiences, build resilience, and move toward healing.

Together, we'll identify patterns, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward healthier ways of managing life's challenges. I bring authenticity, curiosity, and humor into therapy when appropriate, creating a space where growth feels both achievable and genuine.
