More about me
Licensing: LICSW, CDP Years in Practice: 8 State: Massachusetts
With more than 10 years of experience working with families and individuals, I have had the humbling experience of supporting clients through significant changes in their lives. These changes can come at the individual level such as physical and mental health abilities, the relationship level such as communication concerns or role expectations, or at the systemic level such as collaboration with medical teams and coordination of family and caregivers.
It is a humbling experience because I recognize that I am being brought in often during one of the worst moments in someone’s life. I do not take that lightly and I try to ensure that each client I work with feels safe and supported.
In practice I have utilized varying therapeutic approaches and I work with the client to identify which approach best meets their needs. Truth be told, because not one size fits all, it is often a combination of multiple therapies. I have found that the most frequently used in my work are Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Based Approach, Mindfulness Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
The most common feedback I receive from those that I work with is that they feel I have a calming presence, a kindness that helps them to feel immediately comfortable, and the knowledge and expertise to truly help them achieve their goals.
I understand the value in balancing the joys of life with the challenges of life , and I look forward to establishing this balance with you.
About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
