“I can’t do this anymore.” “I can’t call (insert friend’s name) because they have enough on their plate.” “I feel so alone.” “This black cloud just keeps getting bigger.” “Why am I so upset? Things are going so well in my life!” 

Throughout our life, we face many challenges during our day to day lives which can be made more difficult by past experiences. Sometimes, we just need someone to help sort it all out. Whether you are struggling with unresolved trauma, grief or loss, a recent breakup or divorce, a constant shadow of or the grip of depression, therapy can help. The first step is finding the right therapist for you.

My experience as a social worker has varied from working in crisis, within the legal system and within schools. I have worked with clients aged 14-65 but my passion lies working with children and adolescents. My trauma informed approach and experience working with behavioral complexities has allowed me to support clients across a spectrum of diagnosis for over 15 years.

I have a unique approach that works best for those who need directness, feedback and are ready to reflect on themselves. If any of this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out and schedule a consultation.

I am taking new clients both in-person and online. Call 413-307-0492 to make an appointment. I am NOT able to accept MassHealth plans at this time.

I currently accept the following insurances: AETNA, BCBS, HNE, and UBH/Optum.

My therapeutic approach focuses, above all else, on building a genuine therapeutic relationship with my clients. I will collaborate with you to create an open, caring, non-judgmental environment so that you feel safe sharing the struggles and challenges you are experiencing.

I have 13+ years experience working with parents, children, and couples who have faced a wide range of issues including domestic violence, divorce/separation, school related issues, depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders. What are you struggling with in your life? Do you have relationships with family and friends that you wish to improve? Are you grieving the loss of a loved one, or suffering from a recent divorce or separation? How has the pandemic impacted you and your loved ones? I look forward to hearing your story.

Life has wonderful qualities as well as difficulties which impacts people of all ages. Embarking on a journey to further explore, learn, making personal changes or supporting your family can be filled with an array of emotions. The wide range of the emotional world is a natural part of life. 

Adaptive coping, is something any adult or child may at some point need support with. In my practice, all ages are welcome and I have extensive experiences working with children. When working with children the power of family involvement is often critical for the goal being sought after with therapy.  I can help with the impact of trauma, attachment issues, processing adoption story, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I also support clients and families who are exploring gender identity.

I offer traditional talk therapy as well as alternative therapies such as sand tray therapy, art therapy and play therapy for children. These expressive, hands-on approaches are powerful tools that deepen our work and can lead to greater understanding of ourselves. As a therapist, I am present to guide you (and your family) to where you want to go.

Currently I accept BCBS, OPTUM, HNE, and AETNA

I am NOT able to accept Mass Health at this time.

Please me at 413-248-6369 to schedule an appointment if my message states that I have a wait list, I will only call you back once I have an opening. Thanks!

I believe in a holistic approach to therapy, with a focus on understanding the mind-body connection. My practice incorporates trauma-informed therapy, nervous system connection, EMDR, Flash Technique, Clinical Hypnotherapy, DBT, Ego State/Parts Work, drawing from Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory, and Authenticity Therapy.

My focus has recently shifted towards young adults to middle-aged clients, providing a non-judgmental and encouraging space to delve into the complexities and connection with our depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship dynamics, emotional dysregulation, anger, and other mental and behavioral health challenges. Together, we'll work to understand and meet your innermost needs.

I also extend my support to parents of children of all ages who are navigating the complexities of the system and seeking deeper connections. Drawing on the principles of Conscious and Mindful Parenting, I empower parents to foster healthier and more harmonious relationships with their children.

While I'm currently not accepting new clients, I maintain a waitlist. Although I can't predict when new openings will arise, I encourage you to reach out and inquire. Life is ever-changing, and new opportunities may emerge.
