I work with adults facing a range of diagnoses, life challenges, and difficult transitions. As a clinician, I believe the therapeutic process is the invisible string that connects what we struggle with now, to the meaningful changes we want and need.
Reaching out for therapy can be overwhelming-whether you’re new to the process or returning. I welcome you to a safe and supportive space to share your burdens, and help you make sense of what you’re going through.
I've been practicing for over a decade. I received my Master of Science, and Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in Mental Health Counseling from Suffolk University, in Boston, MA. I was also awarded an Outstanding Graduate Student Award recognizing several different criteria, including clinical competence, and development of professional identity.
I have worked with children, young adults, adults, and seniors as an outreach clinician, and in outpatient settings.
I also have experience with adults in MMT settings, and substance abuse counseling.
Most recently, I have shifted my focus to working with adults only (18+).
