Introduction

Through a supportive, authentic, and unconditional therapeutic relationship, I will join you in a process of curiosity and compassion as we explore your experiences, thoughts, and feelings. I blend person-centered therapy, mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, and art therapy to help you reconnect with your emotions, your body, and your authentic self. I respect your complexity and your pace. I work with children, adolescents, and adults. With kids, I use play and creativity so they can show their inner world, grow strengths, learn emotional regulation, and find ways to express their needs. I specialize in trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, life transitions, and identity exploration. I hold an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Art Therapy from Lesley University, and completed clinical training at Yale School of Medicine’s Child Study Center and the YWCA Sexual Violence Support Services. Additional trainings include EMDR, TF-CBT, Sexual Violence Counseling, and IFS.
