Therapist in Northampton, MA

Our mental health and well-being are central to our overall happiness. Whether it is a relatively small hiccup or a major disruption, the events of our daily lives impact our moods, and I believe that talking openly and being truly heard are the best ways of reaching internal resolution and acceptance in order to get back to a place of contentment.

I use a positive, supportive, and relational approach to help individuals explore and resolve their internal struggles and gain insight into their own patterns of mood and behavior. I believe strongly in the importance of trust, honesty, and compassion in interpersonal relationships and strive to embody these qualities in my work.

Career

I started my private practice in 2017 after working for many years as a community mental health clinician. Working in community mental health for over a decade gave me a vast amount of experience in sitting with people from diverse backgrounds as well as ample experience in treating a wide variety of presenting concerns.

Before becoming a Social Worker I taught middle and high school English in the Springfield Public Schools.
