Since receiving my doctoral degree from the William James College in 1995, I have practiced clinical psychology in a variety of settings for 23 years.

I began my career working with children and families. Many families are struggling with stressors such as the loss of a loved one or the cycle of abuse. My commitment to providing the best and briefest therapies was inspired by these families’ moving stories.

I also worked for many years in a college counseling setting where young people are making the move into adulthood often with burdens such as past abuse or family stress.

Since beginning a private practice in 2009, I have treated children, teens, adults and families. I integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches to help my clients heal and grow.
