Accepting new clients!
My career started almost 20 years ago as a yoga instructor. The mindfulness, meditation, and breathing practices came together within a physical practice to provide a holistic strategy to health and wellbeing. One in which I was passionate about teaching and exploring. Over time I began to enjoy working one on one with clients, and my expertise expanded to incorporate physical fitness training. Sessions focused on not only the body, but all of the factors that went into goal setting and behavior change. This ultimately led me back to my roots in psychology as clients and I dove into topics like self awareness, healthy and unhealthy behavior patterns, cognitive and emotional responses to stress, relationships, and human connection. I have developed a true love for meeting with another person, and providing the space to hear and honor their story. My background allows me to care for clients in a way that addressed mind, body, and spirit. As a psychotherapist now, I wake up every morning and say "THIS is exactly what I am meant to do!"
To support someone through their toughest challenges or celebrate their strengths and accomplishments is an absolute gift for which I will always be grateful. I earned my Masters from Simmons School of Social Work and hold a license in Massachusetts. I am also a certified meditation teacher through Unplug Meditation. I have clinical experience working with all age groups and various diagnoses from anxiety and depression, to ASD, ADHD, and OCD. I have experience running support groups for parents, and have spent some time doing case management in therapeutic foster care.
I currently live and see clients in Massachusetts. I love art, reading, knitting, hiking, traveling, and finding a new Netflix series to watch. I am perfectly human and flawed and gifted, just like you. And I have found through my own journey that I am very good and truly listening and seeing the best in people. Enough about me, I’m looking forward to meeting you!
