Thank you for taking a moment to check out my therapy profile. Thank you also for taking the first step towards healing. This process is about you and helping you live life as optimally as possible. I am a LICSW ( Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) in both Vermont and Massachusetts.

Since 2015, I have been practicing independently, but I have been in the social work field since 2007.

The better part of my career was spent in public schools as a school social worker. I have in-depth knowledge of the IEP/504 Process, in addition to the struggles and frustrations of each process. Professionally, as a former educator, I have experienced firsthand the struggles and joys of public education. As a Volunteer Firefighter, who is Pro Board Certified, I have a unique connection to being a first responder in today's World. Most importantly, as an empathetic social worker with a sense of humor, I want to make therapy comfortable and accessible to everyone.

At this time, I provide individual sessions, couples therapy, and family therapy via tele-health. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. The areas of mental health that I specialize in are: Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Women's Health, First Responder Care, and Life Changes. If you are a team player looking for a teammate to work with you, I am your therapist! We will explore the goals you want to accomplish and develop a game plan to make them possible.

Whether you’re dealing with a long-standing struggle or a new crisis, finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. I offer a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel supported from the start. Whatever you’re carrying, we’ll work through it together and find a path forward that helps you feel better.

As adults, we are responsible for changing things not because we are to blame for these things, but because we are the only ones who CAN change them. That can feel unfair, and it is. But it can also be empowering- YOU are the catalyst for personal change. You can always take a turn or step in a different direction. I am here to help you with this noble work.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, adult ADHD, relationship issues, self-esteem, health/wellness, career counseling, burnout & trauma.

I've been in practice for thirty years, working with clients of all ages. I have Master's Degrees in Counseling and Religious Studies, with concentrations in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, EMDR and Expressive Therapies.

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker | Certified Dementia Practitioner

Boston, MA | In-Person & Telehealth Sessions

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) with more than two decades of clinical experience helping adults navigate complex emotional, relational, and medical challenges. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Boston College and have dedicated my career to providing thoughtful, evidence-based care rooted in authenticity, compassion, and the belief that genuine change is possible at every stage of life.

My areas of specialization include anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, medical conditions, LGBTQ+ identity and relationships, grief and loss, end-of-life issues, and advanced care planning. My integrative approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and a Humanistic framework. I believe that movement is medicine, and that healing emerges through the mind–body connection — where awareness, purpose, and action intersect.

As a gay clinician, I am deeply committed to creating an affirming, inclusive space where clients can explore identity, relationships, and resilience with honesty and respect. I strive to help each person cultivate balance, clarity, and a renewed sense of possibility in their lives.
