Meet The Team
 

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker. Prior to starting The Therapy Space, I was the director of an outpatient therapy clinic that serviced over 300 diverse clients as well as in my own private practice. Now, as the founder of The Therapy Space, I utilize my clinical expertise and work experience to help individuals achieve their goals. My credentials include an Associates Degree in Chemical Dependency and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Keene State College as well as a Master in Social Work from Simmons College in Boston. I have served as a Board Director for a large psychiatric hospital, as well as Executive Director of an Outpatient Counseling Program, a patient advocate and human rights officer, a program manager for adults with developmental disabilities, a program manager for a school based program, and an applied behavioral analysis counselor. My passion is to guide individuals to achieve overall emotional well-being. My clients tend to feel relief quickly, as I focus on providing you with evidence-based tools. I will help you to gain insight into your thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. I use a variety of theoretical frameworks, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-focused therapy, and psycho education. My approach to everything that I do is to be as real as I can be. Whether I’m working with an individual in a therapy session, with friends and family, or working with a multidisciplinary team of coworkers I’ve never been someone who is good at faking it. What you see is what you get. I hold myself to the same standards to which I hold my clients—authenticity and honesty are essential. I provide my clients with an accurate reflection of what I see and a professional assessment of how they might do things differently. I will challenge you to think critically about the choices you make and the impact those choices are having on your life. Call or message me today to get started.

I am a licensed independent social worker with over thirty years of experience. I have worked in a variety of settings including outpatient mental health, in and outpatient hospital programs, and long term care facilities. I have also run residential programs for the developmentally disabled. I have had a special interest in working with adult struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, communication issues, etc. I would describe my therapy style as eclectic, pulling from a variety of modalities. Some individuals approach therapy for short term help with an emergent problem. Other people may need the time to tell their story and determine whether they are looking to make any changes. I am comfortable with helping you with either path you need. I believe that insight along with action can help to make lasting positive change. Therapy is about helping you to help yourself.

I'd like to help you uncover the best version of yourself. I work to develop a safe and trusting relationship and then draw on strengths you already have to help you grow into your best self- for your partner, your children, your loved ones, and most importantly for you. We will work together to identify emotions, break destructive patterns, and refine communication. I'm honored to see couples through rough patches and families through transition. I also specialize in adolescents. Theoretical frameworks: IFS, DBT, gentle reprocessing, holistic, yoga therapy.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process and hope to provide care in a setting that feels safe, supportive, and non-judgmental as you explore your story, emotions, and behaviors. I hope to meet you where you are and build a therapeutic alliance based in mutual trust and respect in order to help you feel confident and empowered in your journey toward healing, growth and change. I work individually with adolescents and adults and I utilize an eclectic approach, drawing from evidence-based practices including CBT, DBT, mindfulness and relational approaches. Some of my clinical interests include mood and anxiety disorders, adjustment, trauma and women’s mental health. I received my bachelors from the University of California, San Diego in human development and my masters from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, MA. Over the years I have worked in a community based outpatient clinic and in an integrative care program providing outpatient care to pregnant and postpartum women with substance use disorders.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or grief due to a loss, a chronic illness, a life transition, or a traumatic experience? Are you someone who finds it difficult to be as supportive toward yourself as you are toward others? Are you wanting to reduce unpleasant or self-critical thoughts and practice more self-compassion and mindfulness? There is a quote - “Knowing oneself comes from attending with compassionate curiosity to what is happening within." (Gabor Mate). I strive to create a space in which I hold this for you and support you to hold this for yourself. Through a collaborative process, we can help you identify stuck points, strengths, and move toward healing and self-growth.

You are already taking a huge first step to recognize you need additional support and to ask for it. I look forward to supporting your growth and progress.

I believe that attending to your emotional needs and your overall well-being are highly important when working toward and sustaining a rich and fulfilling life. I find that each person I work with has a unique set of strengths and meaningful values held within them that can be uncovered or built upon in an open, supportive environment.

The treatment approaches I most often use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Skills Training (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT). Though I pull from several therapeutic models, I have been formally trained and certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. When it feels like a challenge to get through each day carrying all the weight of your past experiences, guilt, shame, worries, etc- I am here to help. My approach to therapy is compassionate, empathetic, warm, mixed in with some humor to help each client feel better able to process their experiences resulting in overall healing and growth.
