About Me
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and an EMDRIA Certified Clinician who practices in Massachusetts where I specialize in providing individual, family, and group therapy for adolescents and adults. I am formally trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), Attachment, Regulation, and Competency (ARC) Model, Psychological First Aid (PFA), Post-Traumatic Stress Management (PTSM), and Sensory Motor Arousal and Regulation Treatment (SMART). I am also an independent researcher who is trained in Participatory Action Research (PAR) in search of joining existing projects or creating new ones in an effort to decolonize trauma work.
