As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, I believe mental health is just as important as physical health. I am most drawn to children, teens, young adults and parents. I'm here to help clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions and postpartum anxiety and depression. I also love helping parents better understand infant, toddler and child development in addition to providing parents with strategies they can use to promote social and emotional skill building. I have additional certifications as an Early Intervention Specialist through the MA Department of Public Health and as a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist through Postpartum Support International. I am also trained in SPACE therapy, a program developed by Dr. Lebowitz at Yale.
