About me

It can be challenging to cope with the stress of every day life, to manage strong emotions, and to maintain a healthy sense of self-worth, self-esteem, and motivation. These are common concerns that often inspire people to seek guidance.

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker in Massachusetts with over 10 years of experience in counseling and crisis management. I have a background in psychology and received my Master's degree in Clinical Social Work at Boston College. I have worked with clients on issues related to child welfare, family conflict, intimate relationships, juvenile offenders, veteran readjustment, suicide prevention, and trauma. I have met with a diverse populations of individuals in a variety of settings including offices, hospitals, prisons, and the home environment, and have integrated their partners and families in the work we have done together.

During our time together, I will create an atmosphere in which you feel comfortable enough to bring up whatever is on your mind. I utilize various techniques including a strengths-based approach, interpersonal therapy, and solution-focused therapy. Our discussions will help you alleviate the problems that led you to treatment. Throughout our work together, you will be an active participant in cultivating your goals and monitoring your progress. At every step, I will listen and offer support and guidance.

Allow yourself to take that first step and contact me so that we may begin our work together.

Annemarie is easy to talk to and cuts to the chase very quickly. She offers great ideas and suggestions, and can make the conversation feel more fun than it would be otherwise!

Annemarie will tell you how it is! She offers a variety of ways to help you. She is extremely knowledgeable and can see past the words you say. I highly recommend her! She lets you lead and she is here to guide. I’m lucky to have gotten her as my therapist!

Annemarie is a great listener. For someone who gets general anxiety especially meeting new people, her relaxed demeanor and warmth was really helpful and inviting. Looking forward to more sessions!

This was my first experience with therapy and I entered into it with some anxiety, unsure of what to expect. I appreciated Annemarie's approach to therapy. She treated me like an equal participant, validated my experiences, and made me feel like I had the answers within myself; I learned to trust my inner voice more. She provided support and guidance as we worked through some difficult topics, and I left every session feeling hopeful. She gave me some very useful strategies that I have been able to utilize daily and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
