There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.” — John Green I have worked in the field of social work for over ten years, driven by a passion that began while supporting adolescents in a clinical day school setting. That early experience solidified my commitment to furthering my education and pursuing a career in social work. Throughout my career, I have gained experience across a variety of settings, including schools, medical facilities, child welfare, outpatient care, and crisis services. This diverse background has allowed me to develop a flexible, client-centered approach tailored to individuals’ unique needs.

As a mental health counselor I am here to support you, be sympathetic and non-judgmental through your journey. Life can be challenging and at times all we need is compassion and a safe place to express ourself. I work with my patients and meet them where they are and help them focus on the areas that they identify that needs change or maintenance.

Hi There! I am proud to be a psychiatric Nurse Practitioner! I graduated from the University of Massachusetts Lowell with my bachelor’s degree and Regis College with my master’s degree. I'm excited to provide you with the individualized care you deserve. Most of all, my goal is to honor your individuality and lifestyle when creating a plan of care. Your goals are what matters- it's your life! Let's help you get to where you want to be!

I am a creative, strengths-based, and empowering clinical mental health counselor who believes deeply in each person’s capacity for growth, resilience, and transformation. My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Humanistic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Experiential Therapy, and Positive Psychology. I also work from a person-centered lens, prioritizing what matters most to you as we navigate your unique path toward healing and clarity.

I bring seven years of experience in crisis intervention, which has strengthened my ability to remain grounded, compassionate, and steady during life’s most challenging moments. As I transition into work focused on ongoing therapeutic relationships, I am excited to partner with clients who are ready to step into their growth, explore new perspectives, and become the best version of themselves.

As a Christian, my faith shapes my worldview, and I am comfortable integrating spirituality into the counseling process for clients who desire it. My goal is always to meet clients where they are, honor their values, and support their journey with respect and intention.

I look forward to empowering you to step outside your comfort zone, build meaningful insight, and cultivate the life you were created to live.

I love working with a variety of clients, and focus especially on treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and identity.
