What would it be like to experience daily joy, to be able to calm your mind, and to be able to enjoy life again? I am here to support you on your journey as you take the steps to achieve such goals. Although life can bring many obstacles with it and some may feel impossible to overcome, I believe that every individual has an inner strength that often goes unrecognized. I want to help you see the skills you already have, to recognize the unique beauty of who you are, to fight the lies your brain may be telling you, and to guide you toward a version of yourself that brings you peace.

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming (Dory)...... It's a brave step to seek therapy and for that..I'm glad you’re here. The outcome will be priceless! Mental wellness is as essential for living as is breathing. I have been a licensed masters level clinician for over 16 years working with individuals, families, and couples confronted by various mental health needs and/or transitional adjustments at various phases of life. I tailor the treatment modality to draw on the specific challenges, goals and values someone brings into the therapeutic process. Highlighting strength while collaboratively breaking down barriers that leave them stuck. I take a nonjudgmental, holistic, mind-body while direct approach. My role as a therapist is offering reflection and tools, new ways of seeing a situation so that "the true work of therapy" comes from within the client(s). To gain pride in the accomplishments they have succeeded in, knowing the path is not always linear. Seeing those come into the light after times of darkness is the greatest reward as a clinician.

Supervisor - Not Currently Accepting New Clients Are you feeling overwhelmed, like you’re barely holding it together? Does it feel a little bit like you’ve lost yourself & can’t figure out how to get back to who you were? Are your loved ones treating you differently or telling you to go talk to someone? You’re not alone. I have worked with people from all walks of life who find themselves having difficulty getting up in the morning or leaving the house. I know how hard it can be to consider asking for help. I believe the most effective therapy is guided by the primary needs of the client and utilizes the client's natural strengths and interests in order to make progress. My therapeutic approach is holistic, friendly, warm, respectful, and nonjudgmental; my sense of humor helps clients to feel at ease. I strive to make each client feel as though they are in a safe place throughout the course of our conversation. Seeking help takes courage; asking for help is not an easy thing for everyone. I am here to provide support, insight, & to empower you to meet your goals and achieve your greatest potential. There is no challenge too small and no goal too big! I have been practicing in a wide variety of settings including community mental health center, school, prison, psychiatric hospital, and private practice since 2014. I am trained in CBT, have obtained my BA from Stonehill College, and my MA in Mental Health Counseling from Boston College.

It is a courageous step to seek counseling and support in one’s journey. Whether you have been struggling with self-defeating patterns or looking for guidance with nutritional coaching, I strive to provide a safe and nurturing space to explore these areas of one’s life, moving toward harmony and healing. I am a Therapist (MSW, LICSW) and Certified Integrative Health Coach, specializing in the intersection of mental health and nutrition. I adopt a holistic philosophy focusing on foundational pillars of health- including the role of nutrition, movement, sleep, spirituality in order to gain a well-rounded picture of your overall health. In discussing these areas, we seek to uncover imbalances which potentially contribute to mental health challenges. For the past 10 years, I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds to gain insight, learn new tools, and overcome hardships and challenges. Common issues I encounter are: depression, anxiety, navigating relationships, family of origin difficulties, and life transitions. As a Integrative Health Coach, I am particularly interested in the mind, body, and environment relationship. Through our work together, I incorporate therapeutic modalities to strengthen this brain-body connection and to improve one’s relationship to self. I work with clients looking to improve their health through talk-therapy, healing foods and herbal medicine. Through counseling and evidence based strategies my goal is to partner with you, to empower and inspire you in accessing your inner knowledge and provide guidance with these strategies. •MSW, LCSW~ Hunter College Silberman School of Social Work, 2011 •BA~ Marymount Manhattan College, 2007 •Integrative Health Coach~ The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, 2020
