I also incorporate elements of Geek Therapy, drawing on clients’ interests and passions to strengthen therapeutic connections, reinforce insights, and support meaningful growth beyond our sessions. I am also a Massachusetts Certified Clinical Supervisor (MaCCS), and I can provide clinical supervision to those seeking hours toward their Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) license in Massachusetts at reasonable rates.

As a school psychologist and a family therapist for over 30 years, it has been my pleasure and privlege to work with children and families. My work includes, but is not limited to, helping children with: social anxiety, task and school performance issues, "big feelings" and high level of reactivity, generalized anxiety, grief, fearfulness, sense of inferiority, and trouble with recurring thoughts. Some of these traits fall within various diagnoses (such as ADHD. Anxiety Disorder, Neurodivergence) but your personal concerns about your child are what I am listening for, closely, as each child is a unique individual. My office has space for expressive play therapy with art materials, sand tray, puppets, toys and games. Parents are invited to stay and play with their child for the whole session or a part of a session. I make therapy fun for children so that they will want to participate and become curious about themselves and their behaviors and responses. I help them to discover their own creative inner resources that can be available to them in times of stress. I also counsel and support parenting practices which are helpful for both parent and child. “It is in playing and only in playing that the individual child or adult is able to be creative and to use the whole personality, and it is only in being creative that the individual discovers the self.” (Donald Winicott)

I focus on building skills, enhancing self-awareness, and fostering a sense of hope and possibility.

I have been working in the helping field related to counseling for almost 20 years. In that time I have learned that the best way to help others is to be an excellent listener, to be compassionate, empathetic, and to collaborate with individuals to assist them in gaining the tools that they need to make positive change in their lives. I work hard to encourage clients that the strength for change lies within them and my job is to help them find it. I utilize a great deal of mindfulness based techniques and believe that learning the process of becoming more mindful in life can be extremely beneficial to problem solving and learning to sit with discomfort. As a counselor I do not believe that I have all of the answers or can fix anyone, however, I do believe that if the client is willing to do the work to create change in their life that I can assist them in doing so successfully. Ultimately, my goal for the counseling relationship is to assist clients in managing stress more effectively and learning skills that can be used well after the counseling relationship has terminated, in a straightforward and honest approach.

I approach each session with compassion and humor, supporting clients in achieving their personal goals. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is key to a successful therapy experience.
