Professional Statement

I focus on creating a genuine, compassionate, and respectful relationship with my clients to help them develop greater self-awareness and insight. My goal is to help each person I work with improve their overall quality of life and equip them with the tools they need to strengthen their relationships.

I received my Bachelor's degree in Social Work from the University of Maine and completed the Advanced Standing Masters program in Social Work at Boston University. With experience as a clinician in school settings, as well as inpatient and outpatient clinics, I specialize in supporting adolescents and young adults through the challenges of growing up and transitioning into adulthood. I believe both teens and young adults can benefit from having a neutral, supportive adult to help navigate these often difficult years.

In my therapeutic work, I take a collaborative, goal-oriented, and supportive approach, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and reframe negative thought patterns. Weekly sessions provide a space to reflect on and develop new skills for managing the stresses that come with school, work, friendships, and relationships. I use humor and warmth to create a safe space, as I believe the therapeutic relationship is key in supporting my clients as they navigate the ups and downs of life.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, traveling, hiking, and spending time with friends and family. These activities help me stay balanced and recharged, which allows me to show up fully for my clients.

Insurance/Billing
