About
Every person's story is unique. The process of interpreting that story can be transformative. As your partner in this process, I bring my clinical expertise and diverse background to support you on your journey toward growth.
I am a talk therapist with 5 years of experience supporting teens, adults, and seniors. My practice focuses on helping clients manage depression, anxiety, addiction, and trauma. This work is informed by over 20 prior years in community health, giving me a deep understanding of diverse client needs. My approach is collaborative and practical, targeting current symptoms and their effect on daily life. I believe strongly that "laughter is medicine for the soul" and I like to bring humor to my sessions when appropriate.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Simmons University. I employ a flexible, client-centered approach, drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities to best support my clients. These approaches include Emotionally Focused Therapy, Psychoanalytic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Christian Counseling, and Motivational Interviewing.
I foster a relaxed and encouraging space where you can safely explore life's many struggles. While I understand the importance of the past, my focus is firmly on your present strengths. I will partner with you to take an active role in developing a personalized plan for your healing. If you're ready to begin, reach out to me today!
