Specializes in children, adolescents and adults. As well as survivors of domestic violence, trauma, anxiety and depression. Currently seeing patients in person at our Amherst location or via telehealth. Experience included CBT, DBT and play therapy.
Treatment philosophy: I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families supporting them through a range of challenges including, trauma, behavioral challenges, anxiety and depression. I specialize in working with children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), as well as survivors of domestic violence (DV) trauma.
My approach is rooted in creating a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment where individuals and families can feel heard and supported. I’m committed to empowering my clients, helping them build resilience and develop practical strategies to address what is getting in the way of their well-being. Whether you’re navigating trauma recovery, managing anxiety, or seeking tools for better communication and coping skills, my goal is to walk alongside you in a compassionate, collaborative process that leads to lasting change.
Together, we’ll focus on your strengths, develop strategies that work for your unique needs, and create a space where healing, growth, and self-empowerment.
Treatment Philosophy
Starting therapy is a courageous step and an important investment in yourself. I believe healing happens best in a collaborative, strength-based relationship that respects each person’s unique needs and goals. In our work together, we’ll focus on building insight, developing skills, and addressing challenges in ways that support lasting growth and healing. I am especially passionate about supporting both children and adults as they process childhood trauma, anxiety, grief/loss, self-worth struggles, caregiver stress, college related issues, and PTSD. I draw on a variety of evidence-based approaches—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Bibliotherapy—to customize care to each client’s journey. I’d be honored to answer any questions and support you as you take the next step toward healing and personal growth..
