I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and I'm licensed in MA and CT. I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) through the Academy of Cognitive Therapy. I utilize evidenced based treatments including, Motivational Interviewing, CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy and Mindfulness. In 2005, I earned my MSW degree during which time I trained at the Tewksbury State Hospital and at the Department of Veteran Affairs. I have over 19 years of experience in working with adults struggling with medical conditions, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, as well as issues related to the LGBTQI+ community. Individuals come to me seeking help re: family/relationship concerns, work-life balance, career or school challenges. I strive to provide a warm and non-judgmental environment. I will collaborate with you to develop the tools you need to gain the necessary insights to manage emotions, to address self-defeating behaviors and to increase self-confidence. I work together with individuals to help them reach their goals so that they can achieve a more fulfilling life. Thank you for taking the time to read about my practice.
