Through an approachable, engaging style which brings humor, compassion and an unrelenting belief that things can get better, I strive to help clients develop effective patterns of thought and skills in order to achieve greater success and satisfaction in their lives and relationships. As a trauma specialist, I've cultivated a compassion and broad understanding of experiences & biological responses that inform our mental-emotional well-being.
Stressed? Underappreciated? Lonely? Tired of being the little engine that could? The odd one out? You want to be understood and connect, but the words don't come out or cause more grief when they do. Whether its your job, your relationships, adulting, high school, college, parenting, or society at large, I'll walk with you toward "more better."
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 have over 25 years of clinical work experience with adolescents, young adults, and adults of diverse backgrounds. My extensive experience working with adolescents, inspires me to work with youth who may be struggling in ways that their caretakers find overwhelming. Additionally, I have helped parents/caretakers to better manage family life and improve their relationships with their children during difficult times. Each person deserves support so that they can navigate home life and the outside world successfully. My only request is to have hope!

If you feel "stuck"—whether in your career, your relationships, or your own skin—you aren't alone.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lowell
Searching for therapists in Lowell starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience fits your needs. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want to address. Their bio can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Lowell, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your search beyond nearby offices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Massachusetts. When narrowing your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Lowell can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, review insurance options, and show estimated costs before you book. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
