Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker

I am LICSW with 25 years of experience working in mental health. I offer therapy services at our Dedham, MA clinic.

I describe my approach to therapy as eclectic. I like to utilize various styles including CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, trauma informed care, harm reduction, creative therapy and other styles to best tailor treatment to the person. I have a special interest and experience in working with mood disorders (MDD, Bipolar), Anxiety, ASD, ADHD, OCD, Trauma, Grief and loss, Substance Use Disorders, Borderline Personality D/O, and Psychotic related Disorders. I see folks 12 and older. I am especially committed to supporting LGBTQIA folks and Neurodiverse individuals.

I take as strengths-based approach of care to help my clients recognize their resilience and sense of self beneath the presenting struggles. Managing life transitions is an area that I believe is crucial in long term mental health. I believe in harm reduction for the behaviors in life that can hold people back and allow for growth in change.

I hope that I will be able to support you in facing challenges and build confidence to cope with the struggles that life and mental illness presents. Therapy is your space to feel able to share the burdens you feel and I hope to offer that space for you!
