About Me

Picture

​I am a licensed psychotherapist with a passion to help people overcome challenges and reach their goals! I received my undergraduate degree from Boston College where I studied psychology and human development. Knowing this field was for me from a young age, I went right on to obtain a Master’s in Social Work, also from Boston College, with a concentration in clinical mental health. I have always been fascinated by the human mind and human potential. I absolutely love working with all ages, and have experience doing therapy with individuals from age 5 to 75! It is so exciting for me to watch people at all stages of life change, heal, grow, and achieve their goals! I look forward to doing meaningful and transformative work with you!




​Who I am as a therapist: 

I believe that if you change nothing, nothing will change. My style is supportive, empathic, engaging, and collaborative. We will work together on initiating and sustaining change.  As a therapist, my role is to equip you with the tools to overcome your barriers and limitations and live a life you want to live. I work with you by fostering trust and creating a safe environment where you will gain insights, test new coping skills, increase self-compassion and build upon your strengths. Because you are unique, I tailor my methods specifically for you, integrating a variety of evidence based practices focused on your individual needs!

I specialize in working with children, adolescents and adults in a wide array of issues. Among my areas of expertise include anxiety, behavioral problems, depression, frustration tolerance/anger management, substance use, life transitions, relationship issues, school issues, social skills, self-esteem, stress, trauma, PTSD, and overall self-growth.

​
I will empower you. I will challenge you. I will support you.


“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new” - Socrates
