Picture
My belief in the transformative power of kindness has guided my career as a therapist.  I have found that through the practice of kindness, we come to realize that our lives matter, not only to ourselves, but to our relationships, and to the wider world.  So many of us get so lost in the work of life, in trauma and in pain that we get lost in the space between knowing what is right ‘to do’ and being truly able to do the right thing for ourselves.

I am a Board Certified Marriage and Family Therapist.  I studied psychology at Mount Holyoke College and have a Masters in Counseling Psychology with additional studies in Art Therapy.   In my work I have helped many teens, adults and families arrive at the place where they can learn what it is they truly need to live a good life- their own unique, beautiful life- one that is not mired in self- defeating behaviors and unhealthy relationships.

My work in residential treatment with women from the prison setting and the LGBTQ population,  gives me a strong background, not only in helping people overcome addictions, depression and anxiety, but with body image, life planning,  grief / loss and relationships.  I specialize in helping families in crisis a
s they learn to cope with a loved one’s mental health challenges.   My years of providing therapy in the school system with at-risk children, teens and families has me well versed in helping the family system face the challenges of parenting, including ADHD, blended families and the teen years.  In addition, I am privileged to have had training as a Gottman Couples Therapist.  Gottman Couples Therapy is the only evidence-based couples therapy.  During treatment with me you will learn applicable skills that de-escalate conflict, improve your intimacy and friendship, strengthen commitment and trust, and create shared meaning in your life.  I love helping couples find their way again.  Please let me know how I can help you!
