I strongly believe that clients should feel comfortable with the therapist they choose and hopeful about therapy. Therapy is more likely to be most helpful this way. Clients that my practice works with include individuals from diverse: populations, economic status, race, religion, and sexual orientation. With over 13 years of experience counseling individuals in their time of need, I’ve learned a lot about what is helpful and what can make the difference in the life of someone through counseling. If you need someone to talk with regarding the changes in your life or problems that are difficult to cope with, contact the office or send a message to start counseling. The most central ideas in my work are 1. People are doing the best that they can…but people can change their own response and alter their environment to bring about change in their life. 2. With support, clients can develop skills necessary to address their concerns and solve their problems. 3.Change is constant and it is important to work within what is in your control. [Read More]

I have been an educator, counselor, and coach my entire adult life.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work (MSW) from the University of Maryland, my EdM from Harvard School of Education, and my Bachelor of Arts from Williams College. My approach to therapy is very much client centered with the goal of helping my clients recognize and build on their own strengths. Through my compassionate listening, the people I work with feel heard, seen, and valued so that they recognize in themselves their own resiliency as they navigate the challenges in their lives.
