Clinician

My goal is to offer a warm, welcoming space where you can come as you are, feel seen and heard, and explore healing with empathy, openness, and a little humor. I welcome adults across the lifespan,  young and old, who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and chronic pain.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed. Alongside traditional talk therapy, I integrate mindfulness, breathwork, somatic practices, including the  clinical application of Polyvagal Theory to explore how stress and trauma live in the nervous system. Yoga has also been central to my own healing since a 1985 motor vehicle accident, helping me manage chronic pain and inspiring me to become a certified yoga teacher in 2014.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with both a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (1992) and a Master of Social Work (1999) from Salem State University.

Prior to my current focus on adult individual therapy, I spent 34 years with the Department of Children and Families training foster parents and supporting children and families through acute distress.
