Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Arlington, MA covered by Aetna

I grew up in MA. I earned a 2nd-degree black belt from Premier Martial Arts. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from UML. I worked at a group home for teenagers, then one for adult men with schizophrenia. I worked as a support and then a lead teacher at a day program for adults with developmental disabilities. There, I learned a lot about Behaviorism and ABA. I was then able to work as a clinician as I finished my graduate degree.

I earned my graduate degree at Fitchburg State University. I did my internship at the Community Health Center in Fitchburg. I worked in community mental health before venturing out on my own.

I specialize in EMDR for complex trauma and solution-focused short-term therapy. I am willing to share personal and HIPAA-compliant info if it is relevant to your recovery. I chose this specialty because it has worked for me! Let me show you how you can take back control of your mental health.

As a LMHC and Art Therapist, my work is rooted in the belief that creative expression can be a powerful pathway to healing, insight, and personal growth. My use of art therapy offers a unique way to explore thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Through the creative process you can safely examine experiences, reduce stress, and access deeper self-understanding. No artistic skill or background is needed the focus is on expression, not perfection.

I have been in human services for over 30 years. I am see individuals over 21 years of age. I am an LICSW and accept most insurances. Most of my experience is in trauma, substance abuse, anxiety and relational issues

I have over 25 years’ experience and training in psychiatric rehabilitation sciences and approach therapy from a recovery model. I believe that with the right skills and supports people can do anything. I use a strengths-based approach; rather than focusing on diagnosis I focus on what the individual brings to therapy, what obstacles are present and the individual’s strengths. I work hard to facilitate a trusting relationship and create a non-judgmental space for my clients to grow and thrive. I utilize CBT, Relapse Prevention and Motivational Enhancement Therapy. I believe people are the expert in their recovery, and it is my job to help bring that expertise to the forefront of treatment.

I've spent 12 years working almost exclusively with teens and young

adults — the age ranges that are often the hardest to reach and the

most underserved. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and ADHD, and

I'm trained in Trauma-Focused CBT, which is an evidence-based

approach specifically designed for young people carrying past

experiences that are still affecting the present.

I offer telehealth sessions across Massachusetts, and I specifically

schedule evenings and weekends — because teens are in school and

young adults are at work when most therapists have open slots. I

provide affirming, knowledgeable care for LGBTQ+ teens and young

adults, and I've worked with identity and coming-out concerns for

many years.

I accept insurance through Headway, including Aetna, Blue Cross

Blue Shield, Cigna EAP, Optum, Oxford, and UnitedHealthcare —

including EAP plans, which many young adults have access to

through a parent's employer even into their mid-twenties.
