In what ways do your life philosophy and treatment philosophy overlap?
I live a spiritual life with the belief that we and all “things” are connected by a shared energy of love.
What is your style/approach to therapy?
My approach to therapy offers guidance in your journey of rediscovering your unconditional love for yourself and your world. I help you have compassion for challenging feelings by acknowledging how these feelings are separate from our inner spirit and therefore don’t define our self worth. It becomes easier to accept these feelings by also acknowledging that they have a purpose of self protection and therefore come from a place of love. Acceptance of feelings allows us to return to nurturing our bodies through somatic practices and reach a state of joy in the present moment for our blessings. I hope I can reignite the light that is already in us so it can shine brighter for ourselves and for our world.
What’s the most profound, insightful, or interesting thing you’ve learned as a mental health professional?
All of our challenges stem from the dichotomy of fear and love. We yearn for love so desperately that our fear can get in the way of believing we are worthy of the utmost type of love - unconditional love.

Work History
My approach to therapy offers guidance in your journey of rediscovering your unconditional love for yourself and your world. My undergraduate degree/masters degree are from Boston College. I have had clients as young as two and as old as 87! I’ve worked with all ages in outpatient. My focus was children/families in partial hospitalization and in-home. I’ve primarily supported those finding challenge with anxiety, sadness and anger. I am passionate how physical health intertwines with mental health. Therefore I nourish my body with plants and move every day! I have found joy as a boxing instructor and runner. I hope to expose myself to more cultures through travel. I studied abroad in Ecuador and participated in service trips to El Salvador, Mississippi, New Orleans, and the Appalachian region. I live a spiritual life with the belief that we and all “things” are connected by a shared energy of love. Some of my blessings include my parents, sister, brother-in-law, and three-year-old nephew. “You'll never find a rainbow if you're looking down.” I hope I can reignite the light that is already in you so it can shine brighter for yourself and for your world.
