Practice locations are:
185 Devonshire St #503 Boston MA 02110.
I offer teletherapy (video sessions), as well as hybrid in-office sessions.
I received a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work (MSW) from Rhode Island College in 1998. Prior to private practice, I worked for many years in a variety of settings, treating a wide range of mental health and psychiatric issues. I gained extensive clinical experience through my work in psychiatric hospitals, residential facilities, and community mental health settings, providing support and psychotherapy services.
I am a nonjudgmental person who is genuinely committed to helping others. I offer empirically supported, solution-focused treatment methods. Together, we can draw on my additional training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), mindfulness-based CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychodynamic therapy, grief counseling, relaxation training, and more to improve your quality of life.
Developing a comfortable and supportive working relationship is key to beginning our work together. You know you have found the right therapist when you feel a genuine sense of understanding and connection. My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help you build on your strengths and achieve meaningful personal growth.

Additional Training and Education
I have advanced training in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) through the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF), a leader in OCD treatment. I utilize Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), CBT, and ACT in my work, and I am a member of the IOCDF.
I am also trained in Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST) and EMDR for the treatment of trauma and related disorders. For more information on EMDR, please visit www.emdr.comwww.emdr.com.
I continuously update my knowledge of various treatment methodologies through ongoing licensure requirements and continued education in my areas of specialty. I also consult with experts in OCD, neurodiversity, trauma, diversity, and related areas. I am a lifelong learner and strive to incorporate the most effective, research-based approaches into my practice. I will do my best to accommodate scheduling changes that may arise due to continuing education commitments.
