I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with over 10 years of experience providing comprehensive mental health services to diverse populations in a variety of settings including university counseling, outpatient mental health centers, and the Department of Mental Health. My clients have presented with a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, grief and loss, trauma history, family conflict, generational trauma, academic and professional stress, and coping with life changes.
My therapeutic approach draws from Object Relations Theory, Psychodynamic Theory, and Biopsychosocial Models. I hold a Master of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University and a Bachelor of Science from Boston College. I believe in viewing individuals holistically, recognizing that their overall well-being is shaped by their unique past and present experiences, influenced by their family, culture, and community, which in turn shapes their future outlook. In my therapeutic practice, I prioritize empathy, support, and compassion.
You are the expert of your own narrative and possess many inherent strengths that assist you in overcoming challenges and achieving your full potential. It takes courage to embrace change and seek a more fulfilling and enriching life. I am here to provide support and empowerment throughout that journey.
