Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker

I am a clinician at our Falmouth clinic who provides therapy services!

My ideal client is a young individual seeking to live their life with less conflict and more joy. They may be disconnected from their feelings and often times do not know why they act in ways they did not intend. They are beginning to have a sense of self. They are interested in exploring more about who they are and why they feel like they are struggling either in school, at home or in social relationships. Clients learn what roles they play in their families and how feelings can be “carried” from one situation to another.

When I meet with clients, I am GENUINELY excited to hear how they are doing. I consider it a privilege to have the opportunity to sit with someone and have them share about their life. Creating a safe and consistent place of unconditional acceptance allows clients to begin to share openly, often for the very first time. Clients come away feeling less alone.

With my background as a social worker in both middle and high schools, I have seen how challenging it is to be a young person today. Despite everyone being connected via smartphones, feelings of loneliness and disconnection are common. When you have the courage to share how you feel with someone that is truly listening, it is empowering!
