I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) specializing in individual therapy with a focus on anxiety issues, body image issues, problematic behavioral issues, and intrinsic coaching.
I have been a practicing psychotherapist for over 25 years since receiving a graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counselor from Lesley University in Cambridge, MA. Currently I am serving as a private practitioner working with anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, body image issues, and intrinsic coaching. My areas of expertise are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eyemovement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Mindfulness, ACT, DBT and I am a Board Certified Life Coach. I integrate these complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. With compassion and understanding, I work in partnership with each individual client to help build on strengths, attain personal growth, reduce unpleasant symptoms, restore normal functioning and enhance life satisfaction.
