About Me
I am a licensed mental health counselor currently working towards certification in EMDR. I enjoy working collaboratively and creatively with teens and adults, using a cognitive behavioral approach, interwoven with mindfulness, expressive arts, and an awareness of the body and mind connection. My approach is warm and accepting and I strive to assist clients in increasing self-understanding, self-acceptance, and self-compassion. I am passionate about supporting and empowering those I work with in developing the skills to improve their lives,
Education & Experience
I hold a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a post-masters certificate in addiction counseling from Antioch University New England. I am a Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga Facilitator and SoulCollage® Facilitator.
