About Me

I believe that human nature is connection. We know that shame, invalidating environments and trauma in our relationships prevent us from living as our most safe and authentic selves. I strive to provide the kind of psychotherapy experience where you know there is a real person sitting across from you. Most importantly I believe the connection in the therapy relationship is the healing. As a relational therapist, I work hard to create a safe and contained therapy relationship. That means we can talk about anything that comes up, work through the barriers that keep you stuck, and notice all the parts that make up the authentic you. My objectives are to help you understand your own patterns and symptoms so you can meet your goals toward satisfaction in your life and relationships. In working with me, we will talk emotional parts, past patterns and the science of the brain and body. We will measure progress, making sure your time and work is worth the energy and investment.

Education & Experience

I hold my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology with a professional counseling specialization from Lesley University and my board certification from the National Board of Certified Counselors. Over the past 13 years, I have completed on-going training with a particular focus in trauma and attachment, EMDR, substance use and eating disorders. I maintain a professional membership with ASDAH, local therapist groups, and I teach as an adjunct instructor in the psychology department at several local universities.
