I welcome your outreach.
Please feel free to contact me and we can set up a call to discuss your needs.
Let’s see where the conversation takes us.
Experience
I have worked as a therapist in many settings over the years, including medical and psychiatric hospitals, emergency rooms, community mental health centers, college health, and private practice. I spent several years working as the Assistant Director of mental health services for a large university.
I offer a conversational approach and compassionate care. Creating a two-way trusting relationship is a hallmark in my work.

Compassion
My approach is warm, relaxed, and down to earth. Our conversations are tailored to what you need each session, informed by skills and training in a variety of counseling techniques & styles, including cognitive & dialectical behavior therapies. I am a trauma-informed therapist and I can help you to separate your current life from past traumatic events when bad memories just won't let you go.
Prior to my career in mental health, I worked for 10 years as an EMT. I know firsthand the culture and stressors unique to front-line workers and first responders. First responders hold a special place in my heart.
I see people in person in my Natick office or virtually.
I was born and raised in the Metrowest area. I currently live in the area with my husband and cats. I enjoy cooking, eating good food, yoga, gardening, reading, watching the birds, and being in nature as much as possible.
