I am compassionate and eager to help my clients understand and overcome their struggles.

I have over 30 years of experience providing counseling services in hospitals and outpatient clinics/telehealth venues. I have worked in crisis intervention services and have treated clients across a spectrum of ages and backgrounds.

"I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with experience working with clients across the lifespan—from adolescents to older adults. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and other mental health concerns.

My approach is client-centered, warm, and collaborative. I believe in treating the whole person—not just symptoms—and I often integrate evidence-based medication management with lifestyle and coping strategies tailored to your needs. I strive to create an inclusive, affirming space for all individuals, especially those from underserved and culturally diverse communities.

Whether you’re navigating trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or life transitions, I am here to support you in finding clarity, balance, and hope. My goal is to help you feel understood, empowered, and equipped with the tools you need to thrive."

I am an LICSW Clinical Social Worker with experience in helping those with depression, ADHD, anxiety, and trauma. I incorporate ACT, CBT, and DBT modalities into my work and am a trained EMDR therapist.

I started specializing in CBT for children in 1998 — and the 28 years since have taken me through residential programs, day treatment, outpatient clinics, and public schools. That breadth of experience means I've worked with people across the full range of what life can throw at someone, and I've learned what actually helps.

In 2021, I completed a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in Resiliency in the Helping Professions — deepening my focus on the skills that make change stick: emotional regulation, realistic optimism, and self-compassion. These aren't just techniques. They're the foundation of what I help clients build.

I work with children (ages 6+), adolescents, and adults on anxiety, depression, trauma, ADD/ADHD, family stress, and anger. I'm based in Central Massachusetts and offer telehealth across the state.

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.

Are you having difficulty adjusting to a new environment, relationship, identity, or phase of life? Do you overanalyze social interactions or struggle to connect with others? I have worked in community mental health, college counseling, and private practice settings. I work with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, life transitions and relational concerns. As a queer-identified therapist, I am also dedicated to working with LGBTQ+ folks, and affirming of kink and ENM/polyamory as well.

I graduated with a Masters degree from Northcentral University with the degree of Marriage and Family Therapy. I have been working with individuals, adults, and couples. Helping people get from point A to B and see the transforming impact in their lives is what drives me to be a therapist. I love to see people become aware of their own strength and power and rise from their challenges.
