Do you often feel weighed down by feelings of anxiety and depression? Together we will work on strategies that allow you to address the root causes of your difficulties and build a sense of calm, acceptance, and desire to live a meaningful life.

I use therapeutic methods which include psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavior therapy, trauma informed care, mindfulness, and solution focused therapy. The most important component in my approach is forming a trusting, honest, and respectful therapeutic alliance with you, so we can collaborate on a plan to move forward from obstacles that may be impeding your growth and happiness.

I chose to become a mental health professional after my own struggles with loss and grief. Participating in therapy was a life-changing experience for me and I am hopeful to be able to provide you with the same benefit. I look forward to working with you on your own journey of healing and growth.

I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of NH and my Bachelor’s Degree from Notre Dame College. I have been working in the mental health field since 2003.

My hours of availability are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, from 9AM - 5PM.

Insurances accepted: Optum, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Tufts, Cigna, Harvard Pilgrim, Health Plans, Inc., United Behavioral Health,  Aetna, Tricare, Martin’s Point, and Self-Pay.
