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 provide a supportive, safe and collaborative working environment with each client. In this space, we will work to understand how past events may affect your current perceptions, and how present experiences shape your thoughts, feelings and behavior. I utilize frameworks including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution Focused Therapy to draw upon resources, strengths, and skills that you already possess. I work to meet people where they are at with compassion, warmth, and curiosity. I am an active listener who challenges unhelpful self narratives to make way for productive ones. I am flexible in my therapeutic approach, keeping in mind your goals and tailoring my interventions to meet your needs. I received my BA in Sociology from the College of Wooster and my MSW from Boston College. Upon graduating, I built upon my clinical skills by working with adults and young adults to improve varying degrees of anxiety, depression, and mood presentations. I have helped clients enhance their self-esteem, communication, boundary-making, interpersonal skills and build upon their coping strategies. I enjoy working with people from a variety of different backgrounds and focus on providing socially and culturally competent care. I want to work with you to feel better and believe that the real work comes from first cultivating a safe and validating environment.

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.

If you’re trapped in a spiral of anxiety or depression, here is a hand reaching out to slow your momentum and create space for peace. Are you having trouble finding a way to break the cycle of stress? Let me help you find a way to regain control. My practice is based on mutual respect. I use a collaborative approach to therapy. Trust and respect are essential for growth. I believe that you are the expert of your life, and that you hold the potential for forward motion within yourself. I specialize in disability, chronic pain, trauma, grief, and LGBTQAI+ issues. I have years of expertise in CBT, DBT, Gestalt, Existential, Narrative, and Adlerian models of therapy. I practice bodywork and expressive therapy. I believe that focusing on the connection between the mind and body can help us understand the way we interact with the world. Through knowledge, we gain clarity, and through clarity we gain control over our own behaviors.

I am a Licensed Mental Health counselor and have experience conducting individual and family therapy in various settings: in-office, in the home, and online with clients presenting with a broad range and severity of clinical issues. I have had the most experience working with those struggling with alcohol and drug addiction, Autism Spectrum Disorder, anxiety, depression, teen/young adult concerns and various mood disorders. I use a client centered approach to help clients reach their own goals and gain better insight in their emotions. I also utilize CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and MI (motivational interviewing) as well. I have learned that people want someone to really hear them and respond with authenticity and compassion. Therapy can be a challenging journey, and it is my goal to help you through the process every step of the way. Progress is not always as swift as we would like it to be. So much of life is out of our control, but what we can learn to regulate is our response to those unexpected challenges. When someone is brave, willing, and ready for change the world can be a better place. It is a privilege to help you along the way.

Whether you are facing in-the-moment or long term concerns, therapy provides unique and professional third-party perspectives. I believe difficult times, if processed in a healthy way, can lead to greater resilience and tranquility. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. As a queer therapist, I am also an impassioned supporter of assisting LGBTQIA+ clients regarding the internal and societal difficulties they may face. I obtained my Masters in Counseling Psychology from Boston College and have practiced in a variety of settings such as a college wellness center, Mass General Brigham, and private practice. In session, I draw from an eclectic blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Humanistic Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Feminist Therapy. My goal is to get you feeling better as quickly as possible, then to work collaboratively in understanding why the difficulties arose in the first place. I strive to make every session feel like a simple and warm conversation. I look forward to working with you!

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. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker providing mental health treatment to adults for the past 9 years in a variety of treatment settings including inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient clinics. My areas of specialty include treating anxiety, depression, struggles with pregnancy and postpartum, overwhelming stress, difficulty navigating life transitions, challenges post military service, and unhelpful responses to trauma. Building a genuine therapeutic relationship is one of the key pieces to successful treatment, so I strive to create a non-judgmental environment built on trust and accountability with each of my clients. 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.

I am a firm believer that therapy should feel practical, and serve as an authentic, supportive space where individuals can be met without judgement.

I enjoy collaborating with clients to support them as a validating and driving force toward meeting their goals. My therapy style pulls from a variety of treatment modalities, as I have extensive training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and Hoarding issues. Additionally, I am trained in Gottman Level I and II Couples Therapy.

I am a licensed mental health counselor with experience working in outpatient community mental health, providing individual and group counseling. Throughout treatment I use a strength-based approach to accomplish goals effectively that combine elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered approaches, psycho education, and motivational interviewing skills. I feel that therapy may provide a safe environment as a learning experience for both the client and clinician to collaboratively develop helpful tools to fulfill long-term and short-term goals and allow for growth.

Hello! You’ve made it. You’ve taken the first step to start or restart therapy and you should feel proud to have made it this far. As your therapist I will provide you with a safe space to express yourself, including the good, the bad, and everything in between. I want you to know that you are not alone. I will be an integral part of your support system while we navigate your path to self-fulfillment. I emphasize starting with achieving small goals that result in long term stability. I believe it is important to acknowledge that change takes time. As we work towards your goals, we will respect a realistic timeline, define and create a safe space and explore what supports we have in place and where we may need more. By working together, using honest and clear communication, I believe we can develop an individualized definition of well-being. As a mental health counselor, I strive to apply psychological theories and techniques in a digestible and realistic way to each person that I partner with. Everyone brings with them their own history, challenges and desired outcomes that deserve an individualized approach. I have a wealth of important experience helping adults, teens and couples both at The Therapy Space and as a former emergency mental health crisis counselor in the Greater Boston Area. I am looking forward to learning how my clinical expertise can best serve you.

When you reach out to us, the first person you’ll likely talk to is me. I am very passionate about helping people from different walks of life get set up with the care they need and deserve. I’m always happy to help answer questions about insurance, billing, and services, and assist getting you on the way to your first appointment with one of our amazing therapists. You may get emails and phone calls from me, assisting with insurance and billing. My professional work experience has largely been in the realm of helping therapists focus on what they do best, while I manage keeping the front of the house in order. When I’m not in the office, you can usually find me at home with my husband and our 5 year old son, and our many pets! I look forward to speaking with you!
