I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who works with adults of all ages with a wide range of difficulties, from anxiety, depression, and life transitions, to struggles in relationships, prenatal and postpartum challenges to concerns around self-esteem and identity. I am particularly passionate about serving young adults (18 -29) as they navigate the complex world of adulthood. My goal is to help you stop feeling stuck and unable to move forward and start discovering possible paths to greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and confidence.
My Approach to Therapy
I bring empathy, honesty, and compassion to my work.
As a therapist, I can:
Help people identify what they are feeling
Collaborate with people to set goals and help them reach them
Be flexible on the path of discovering what’s going on
Accept people for who they are and in their current life circumstances
I enjoy guiding people towards positive changes and watching them transform their lives. The most rewarding thing about being a therapist is seeing people move inward and finally claim their voice and recognize their greatness. Sessions with me will provide you with the space to feel what you need to feel so that you'll be able to explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals. It's important to me to provide an inclusive and affirming space to be yourself and ensure that the process is collaborative.
At Essential Insights Counseling Center, there isn't a "one size fits all" approach to therapy.
Real change is possible, and the therapeutic relationship is one of the ways to cultivate that change. With a strong emphasis on the power of connection, my therapeutic approach relies heavily on in-depth co-collaboration that is holistic, goal-oriented, and unique to you.
“You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice.”
— Bob Marley
As a Therapist, I Embrace the Following Philosophies:
Empathy can change the world.
Sometimes, small steps in the right direction are the biggest steps in the end.
Change is possible when you allow yourself the space to do the work.
You are strong enough to be present with what you may be going through.
Therapy should address the person as a whole- their mind, body, and spirit.
My Professional Background
I received my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Westfield State University, and my Master’s in Social Work from Wheelock College. I’ve worked in multiple settings, including college counseling centers, Boston public schools, and outpatient drug and alcohol treatment facilities.
