What should a new client know about working with you?
I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts with over 15 years of diverse experience in various settings, including inpatient senior psychiatric hospitals, outpatient in-home individual and family therapy, and conducting crisis assessments in hospital emergency rooms.
Throughout my career, I have supported individuals, couples, and families facing a broad spectrum of challenges, such as depression, anxiety, parenting problems, OCD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and trauma histories.
My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with narrative therapy, emphasizing individualization and compassion in treatment. I tailor each treatment plan to align with your specific goals, ensuring a personalized and effective therapeutic experience.
I have extensive experience working with all age groups, from adolescents to elders. My proficiency in CBT and narrative therapy particularly shines in my work with anxiety and depression, where I help clients develop practical coping strategies. My journey into the mental health field began with my natural inclination to assist others with personal and professional stressors.
Outside of my professional life, I am passionate about nature. I am a preservation breeder of Clumber Spaniels and actively participate in conformation and hunting competitions with them. I've also been an avid horsewoman since the age of 5, engaging in training and competing, as well as instructing others to appreciate the sport.
I firmly believe that everyone has the potential to achieve their goals and make the necessary changes to accomplish them. I am committed to supporting you on your journey toward mental well-being and personal growth.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
