About
I offer a warm, trauma-informed, and collaborative approach that honors each client’s story while supporting healing, growth, and resilience.
I am a Master’s Level Counselor with 13 years of experience providing direct care and outpatient counseling. I work primarily with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and stress related to work, family, or identity. I also support individuals navigating complex medical or developmental concerns, helping them build emotional stability and stronger coping skills.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Merrimack College. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive, integrating evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and strength-based therapy to support emotional regulation and insight.
In our work together, you can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we move at a pace that feels safe and empowering. I am committed to meeting you with empathy and respect as we develop practical tools to help you heal, grow, and create a more balanced life.

I find the best approach while working with people who have experienced traumatic events is to build a connection with you first. A supportive therapeutic relationship is crucial for trauma treatment.
Psychoeducation is usually where I start when facilitating trauma work. It is important that we know how the brain works and why the symptoms are occurring. Negative thinking is common when someone is experiencing PTSD. I teach cognitive interventions to support the client. Lastly, prolonged exposure questions guide you to gradually approach trauma-related memories, feelings, and situations you may be avoiding.
I know a client is making meaningful progress when they show a change in their demeanor, practice helpful skills outside of therapy, and self-report relief in their symptoms.
You will be taught many coping skills to manage intense emotions and reactions. It is important to practice these skills outside of our counseling time.
It's important to ask your provider questions about trauma therapy. The client should be informed and comfortable.
Trauma therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on treating the psychological impact of traumatic events on individuals. Trauma therapy helps people process and heal from their trauma by guiding them through their trauma in a compassionate and supportive way, allowing clients to feel the full scope of what happened to them and eventually move on from the event(s). This process helps people who have experienced trauma find ways to feel safe in their lives.
Trauma therapy will often require individuals to walk through their experiences in a controlled and compassionate setting (unless the client has a dissociative disorder) so that they can fully process the event, an activity that will allow them to move on from what happened and feel safe again. Thriveworks Leominster therapists will also help clients learn healthy coping mechanisms to deal with their symptoms outside of therapy.
Thriveworks trauma counseling in Leominster, MA is conducted both in person and online through online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
If an individual is working through a single event that occurred during adulthood, they may only need a few months of treatment. However, in instances of childhood trauma or repeated traumatic events, therapy may continue over the course of years.

Thriveworks therapists in Leominster, MA will continue to provide care for as long as necessary to help clients meet their therapeutic needs.
