About Me
Services & Expertise
Welcome to my practice!
I have been a mental health professional for over 25 years, and have worked in community mental health centers, hospitals, therapeutic schools, public schools, and private practice.
I provide psychotherapy and neuropsychological evaluations.
Approach
I am neurodivergent affirming in all aspects of my practice, which means I value and accept the many ways in which individuals think, process, and perceive information.
In psychotherapy, I emphasize strengths developed through each client's unique history. My clients are age 10 and older. I help individuals make connections between their emotions and behaviors while noting the important influence of relationships. I draw from cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and other approaches such as relatinoal theory and family systems theory. Together, we explore emotional and behavioral patterns, identify healthy alternatives, and pinpoint useful coping tools.
Neuropsychological evaluations provide an opportunity to formally understand client's capabilities, academic skills, emotions, social interaction, and needs. I evaluate children age 6 and older, adolescents, and adults. Personalized recommendations help each individual attain greater success in their school, work, and/or community settings.

Education & Credentials
I have a doctorate from Northeastern University's combined school psychology and counseling psychology program. I also have a master's degree in counseling psychology from Boston College.
I am a licensed psychologist in Massachusetts and New York. I am also a licensed Massachusetts school psychologist.
