About Me
Welcome! I am so glad you are here. Taking those first steps to improving your mental health and overall well-being can feel like a daunting task, but here you are. Taking that step. I’m proud of you!
Here’s a little about me. A social worker by trade, I graduated from the University of Vermont in 2003 with my Bachelors of Social Work and from Salem State University in 2008 with a Masters of Social Work degree. As a New England native, I am most often found by the beach or the mountains, visiting local thrift shops, and spending time with loved ones.
I value authenticity and connection. With a foundation in trauma-informed care, I understand the profound impact of trauma on mental well-being. I believe that we all have the capacity for healing from trauma and can learn a great deal from our own inherent resiliencies.
My client-centered philosophy ensures that you are the expert of your own healing journey. Together, we’ll collaboratively work towards your goals, fostering a safe and compassionate environment where you can explore, process and transform your experiences.
You don’t have to do it alone.

Immigration Evaluations
Psychological Evaluations for the following:
U- Visas
Hardship Waivers
VAWA
Cancellation of Removal
Asylum
Please note, psychological evaluations for immigration cases are specialized assessments focused on providing an expert opinion regarding the psychological state and needs of an individual within the context of their immigration proceedings.
These evaluations are not therapeutic in nature; instead, they aim to document the mental health impacts of experiences such as trauma, persecution, or other relevant factors that are pertinent to the individual's immigration case.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
As an EMDR trained clinician, I am pleased to offer trauma treatment with EMDR to clinically appropriate clients.
EMDR is a psychotherapy that, through the use of bilateral stimulation, enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences in the past and thrive in the present and future.
I am also trained in Flash Technique as well as Preverbal Protocol.
