I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Massachusetts Boston with a major in psychology. After graduating I worked for two years at Bournewood Hospital as a mental health counselor on a dual diagnosis unit treating addiction and comorbid mental health issues. Thereafter, I acquired my doctorate degree in clinical psychology at William James College (formerly the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology). 

I then had one year of post-doctoral training at the Boston Institute for Psychotherapy and one and half years of post-doctoral training at Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates (HVMA).  Soon after I began working as a staff psychologist at HVMA for four years where I acquired further experience in treating addiction, trauma, mood disorders, and anxiety. I worked solely with adults and older adults. I co-facilitated a group with a psychiatrist treating persons with major mental illness, and with an intern, I co-facilitated two older adults groups the spanned over the course of nearly two years. I also have extensive experience running recovery and relapse prevention groups. I have been in private practice since 2019.

At the moment I am providing teletherapy for those interested in this approach. I am licensed in both Florida and Massachusetts. I provide therapy using an eclectic and integrative style that best suits the person’s needs. I take a collaborative, strength-based, non-judgmental, and client-centered approach throughout the work with my clients and when deciding upon which tool sets to use in the therapy.

I work with clients 18 years of age or older. I see individuals throughout most of the lifespan and with a variety of presenting concerns. I specialize in treating addiction; however, a lot of my experience is in working with patients with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and around grief and loss.

I am affirming of people of all backgrounds, gender identities, and sexual orientations. I am particularly passionate about helping people to work through obstacles in their lives and if possible, grow from them. That said, I am here to support people through what can be a difficult time in their life and join them where they are at on their path.
