About
I look forward to understanding your goals and values and offering the best scientific and humanistic practice to help you reach your desired outcomes. I have helped teens and adults address traumatic experiences, loss, anxiety, ADHD, peak performance goals and big life transitions. I also offer home-based services and EMDR intensives when appropriate. I am an empathic, client-centered, strengths-based licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience providing collaborative culturally responsive trauma-informed care. I look forward to hearing from you. I offer an initial hour consultation to assess goodness of fit. Credentials & Experience: My work is informed by the latest advances in neuroscience, collaborative problem solving, phase-oriented and component-oriented trauma therapies, EMDR, acceptance commitment therapy, family systems theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practice. I am currently licensed in MA and ME.
