Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
As your therapist, I look forward to hearing about your needs, collaborating with you to define your goals, and starting you on a course toward achieving them. My specialties include anxiety, trauma / PTSD, depression, grief, adjustment, and relationship issues. I have an eclectic approach to talk therapy, offering as indicated trauma-informed EMDR tools and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a form of psychotherapy incorporating Mindfulness, Cognitive, and Dialectical practices. Since receiving my MSW in 1999, I have worked as a psychotherapist at Holyoke Medical Center's OP Center for Behavioral Health, Brightside Counseling, and Providence OP where I supervised licensed clinicians. I completed The Trauma Institute’s Level II EMDR training in 2008 and EMDR Certification in 2011. In 2014, I completed a post-graduate fellowship through the Massachusetts Institute for Psychoanalysis. Current Relational psychoanalytic theory helps to inform my understanding of talk therapy processes. I am currently in private practice full time and welcome emails and calls to discuss treatment.
