My personal philosophy is that change is possible and my approach to therapy is through this optimistic lens. This is the vision that I hope to share with my clients. With a background in physical rehabilitation and mindfulness, I appreciate how a multi-faceted and eclectic approach to therapy can promote healing
My objectives in mental health counseling are to encourage clients to become curious about how their mind works by using a Person-Centered Approach and recognizing people’s inherent motivation for positive change.
I incorporate principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems and mindfulness to challenge clients' behavioral, emotional, and thought patterns that are preventing them from reaching their unique life goals.
Therapy is a collaborative process. I work with my clients in a mutually respectful way, through issues of depression, anxiety, and chronic pain to create changes for themselves.
I hold a master’s degree in mental health counseling from Southern New Hampshire University. I am also a licensed occupational therapist holding degrees from New York University and McGill University.
