I believe you deserve to live your best life possible. I am an independent social worker licensed in Massachusetts with over 20 years of experience working in human services. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar disorder, adoption, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and ADHD. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I believe our experiences are life lessons, not life sentences, and that we can learn and grow from our mistakes. I also believe that life is better with laughter, and many clients have commented on how my sense of humor has helped them through some difficult times. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you and to be by your side every step of the way. I look forward to working with you!
