- Emotions are funny things. We feel them constantly, and we are taught to trust them at a very early age. Emotions tell us what is important to us in those situations and how we should be reacting – they tell us what we want and need.

Approach to Therapy
I love being a therapist. I consider it a great privilege and honor to be invited into people's lives in times of struggle and vulnerability. When I work with clients my hope is that they will leave our sessions feeling respected, understood, validated, accepted, and with less distress and more hope. I use an integrated client-centered approach. I weave together Narrative Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Motivational Interviewing, Attachment Theory, Mindfulness, psychoeducation, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I am an artist and I use my creative training to tailor the therapy experience to each client's unique needs, fluidly shifting focus between emotions, thoughts, and actions or behaviors. I see all feelings as purposeful, providing information about needs. I consider most problems to be attempts at solutions that are not yielding the intended results. I work from a strengths-based perspective looking to amplify and build on what clients are already doing that works and to uncover yet-to-be-accessed abilities and solutions. It is easy to become trapped in a story about ourselves and our lives that keeps us bound to our problems and our problem identity. I collaborate with clients to explore and develop narratives that can serve to move them towards the lives they desire.
I believe connection and belonging are fundamental, physiologically-based human needs. I like to help individuals, couples, and families build more connected lives. I work with young adults and adults. Clients in individual therapy are always invited to bring important people such as partners, parents, children, friends, roommates, or housemates into sessions either for support or to use the session to work on relationship repair.
I work with clients of all races, ethnicities, religions, socio-economic statuses, sexual orientations, gender identities, body sizes, and abilities. I work from a weight neutral HAES® informed perspective. I take a stand against prejudice and the oppression of members of marginalized groups.
Education and Work Experience
Valentines scrapped s free printables,digis and clip art. I received a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Massachusetts-Boston. I also completed graduate coursework in Couples and Family Therapy and in Applied Behavior Analysis, as well as undergraduate coursework in child development. My clinical internship was at the eating disorder treatment center, Walden Behavioral Care, where I worked with adults and adolescents and their families. Clients struggled with eating disorders including Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge Eating Disorder. Prior to that, I worked at Bradley Hospital with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families. I am also trained as an Embodyoga® yoga teacher and can integrate guided relaxation, body awareness, and meditation into sessions to reduce stress, increase the ability to self soothe, and strengthen the inner witness to help clients be less carried away by negative thoughts and mood states.
I have completed advanced trainings and workshops in Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eating Disorders (An Evolutionary Approach) with Dr. Shan Guisinger, and The Neurosychotherapist Institute's Core Principles of Neuroscience. I completed Embodyoga® 200 and 300 Hour Teacher Training programs at Yoga Center Amherst where I also taught yoga and was an assistant teacher trainer.
Issues and Concerns I work with:
- Existential – Wrestling with issues about mortality, freedom, responsibility, injustice, or searches for meaning

- Transitions – Beginning college, a new career, parenthood, marriage, divorce, loss, children leaving home, retirement

- Complex Decisions – Examining the various ways a situation might unfold, the possible risks and rewards, forecasting what is most likely and what outcome you would be most comfortable with
- AmbivalenceAbout Change – Exploring options when you want to change and you don't want to change, or when someone else wants you to change and you don't want to change
- Academic Issues – Study habits, procrastination, adjusting to the demands of college
- Disordered Eating – chronic dieting, chronic body dissatisfaction, compulsive exercise, weigh suppresion, building resilience to weight stigma and prejudice directed towards larger bodied people, unlearning internalized fatphobia, non-dieting and anti-diet approaches to wellness, recovering from negative impacts of diet culture
- Eating Disorders – Addressed through a framework that synthesizes biological, social/cultural, and psychological factors: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, orthorexia
- Effects of Injustice & Oppression – Working with how we are influenced by larger systems, depersonalizing internalized cultural stigma, contextualizing problems within the larger web of family, society, and culture
- Shame & Self-criticism – Developing a more fair, kind, and supportive inner dialogue
- Artists & Creative Professional Concerns – Resolving creative blocks, balancing your art with other needs, strategizing how to 'make it work' financially, designing combinations of day jobs & creative work if needed
- LBGTQ Concerns – Positive identity development, lack of acceptance of sexual orientation or gender identity from family and loved ones, building resilience to heterosexism, homophobia, and transphobia
- Anxiety – Excessive worrying about events, activities, or situations that feels out of proportion and interferes with your everyday life, always picturing the worst occurring, muscle tension, feeling restless, on edge, or keyed up, feeling irritable, having difficulty concentrating or finding your mind going blank, fatiguing easily, restlessness, difficulty getting a good night of sleep
- Depression – Experiencing a persistent low mood where you feel sad, empty or hopeless, loss of pleasure in things you used to enjoy, sleeping too much or too little, intense guilt or feelings of worthlessness, difficulty with fatigue and concentration, thoughts of death
To Clients with Eating Disorders
In my work with clients with eating disorders I emphasize developing your support system and endeavor to help clients tolerate the distress that can be a part of the recovery process. My preference is always to work as part of your team of providers. I can also help you build your team. I believe eating disorders are biopsychosocial conditions with physiological underpinnings in human adaptations to survive famine. Having an eating disorder can be frightening, isolating, and produce tremendous shame. For some it can be bewildering and frustrating to have your loved ones express concerns you don't share. Struggle with an eating disorder can leave people demoralized, confused, and afraid. I take a non-blaming non-shaming stance toward clients and families. I meet clients where they are and help them to make sense of the experience, to access support, to grieve what they have lost to the illness, and to chart a course back to wellness. Meal support and meal coaching can be incorporated into sessions.
I respect size diversity and support clients to nurture their health independent of weight or size, operating from a weight neutral HAES® informed perspective. I help clients move toward listening to body cues to nourish their bodies with enjoyable foods and pleasurable movement when appropriate. For clients who are at a body weight lower than where their body would be most comfortable and safe, I support them in the renourishment process alongside their medical providers and dietician. I also work with clients to explore fears and obstacles to the recovery process.

I strive for sessions to feel like a deep meditation that delve into what you're doing and thinking, how you're doing it and explore alternative ways of being.
My passion is helping high performers lead lives they love through supporting healing that is deep and lasting. I like to cut to the chase of exactly what it is you're needing help with and look at ways to empower you as soon as possible.
I am warm, practical, intuitive and direct. Clients share that I ask good questions that help prompt new ways of thinking about old problems.
I am nonjudgmental while also no nonsense. I often begin sessions by asking, 'What is it you would like to get out of today's session?'

I love helping people figure things out that are not easy to figure out. Together we will conceptualize the problems and collaborate to come up with solutions so that you begin to feel a sense of movement around areas that feel stuck.
I see myself as a facilitator of eloquent conversations. If you're interested in seeing a therapist who only listens and nods, I am not the best fit.
