About
I have a very strong skill set in treating those patients that have suffered trauma in their lives.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 39 years of experience supporting individuals and couples on their journey toward healing and growth. Over the years, I have specialized in trauma treatment, depression, anxiety, and emotionally charged challenges. My approach is compassionate, solution-focused, and designed to empower clients with practical strategies while honoring their unique stories. I am also nationally certified in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy and remain dedicated to creating a safe, collaborative, and supportive therapeutic environment.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Simmons School of Social Work, where I built a strong foundation for clinical practice. I integrate evidence-based approaches tailored to meet each client’s needs while encouraging active involvement in treatment planning.
I strive to make therapy a welcoming and collaborative experience. Whether working with individuals or couples, my focus is on creating meaningful change, building resilience, and helping clients feel seen and supported. I welcome you to take the first step toward a healthier and more balanced future.

I have come to understand that each individual navigates life challenges in a unique way. Through my experiences, I have realized that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to addressing these challenges. I firmly believe that growth and positive change are attainable through empathetic listening and the establishment of a therapeutic relationship.

OCD counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach aimed at supporting individuals coping with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The goal of this counseling is to help clients manage and alleviate the distressing symptoms of OCD by systematically addressing their obsessive thought patterns and compulsive behaviors.
In OCD counseling, Thriveworks Brookline therapists use cognitive behavioral techniques, including exposure and response prevention, to assist you in addressing and managing your obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. An OCD therapist will collaborate with you to identify and modify irrational thought patterns while gradually and gently exposing you to anxiety-triggering situations, helping to disrupt the cycle of obsessive-compulsive rituals and promote healthier coping strategies.
Thriveworks OCD counseling in Brookline, MA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of sessions for OCD counseling is variable, contingent upon the individual’s unique needs, the severity of their condition, and their progress during treatment. Typically, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), commonly used for OCD, comprises around 12 to 16 weekly sessions, but the exact session count can be customized based on the individual’s response to treatment and therapeutic objectives. Some opt for a more extended duration to comprehensively manage symptoms and address complex issues.
