About Me
I’m a psychotherapist specializing in EMDR and trauma-informed therapy for adults and older adolescents working in behavioral and mental healthcare since 2013. I help clients work through unresolved experiences, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and patterns that may be keeping them stuck. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on helping clients develop greater insight, emotional resilience, and lasting change.
Education & Experience
I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts. I have over 13 years of experience in behavioral health, including psychotherapy, addiction treatment, trauma-informed care, and behavioral health executive leadership. My advanced clinical training includes EMDR therapy, and my approach incorporates psychodynamic and trauma-focused principles to help clients find resolution.
