I started volunteering in human services in1987, and have worked with a variety of organizations helping children, families, and adults.
In 2004, I entered Lesley
University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where I earned a master’s degree in
Counseling Psychology a few years later.
While in school, I interned at a college counseling center, and worked in therapeutic programs for teens and school-age children. For six years after grad school, I was an outpatient clinician and supervisor at a
community mental health center in Central Massachusetts, serving children, families, and adults.
The Narrative perspective is always at the heart of my work with you: What is the story you unknowingly tell yourself about who you are? How does that reinforce the habits and patterns in your life? We then work to grow the story your prefer; it's already in you, but perhaps a bit ignored.
I also have specific training in dealing with a traumatic past, resolving a history of childhood sexual abuse, reducing anxiety and depression, helping folks on the autistic spectrum to adjust to the world around them, and much more.
