This is me

During a session together, you can expect to work through the goals that you have set. I believe that you are the expert in your life. You can expect that I will help to support and guide you with therapeutic approaches. In your session, I hope to create a safe, supportive environment that will allow you the freedom to be as expressive as you would like.

I do not believe in creating a false reality with positivity that does not live in truth. I do believe that creating a space where you are comfortable saying “I don’t know” or “ I don’t like…”

While supporting you through your journey, I hope to help you express the things that you may not have the words to by using my library of creative approaches.

One of the most important parts of our professional relationship is allowing you to feel comfortable enough saying when you are not ok.

Your sessions with me:

Professional Identity

I am licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC #13412). I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a certification in Child and Adolescent Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Prior to that, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Northwestern State University of Louisiana.

I also hold the premier counseling certification as a National Certified Counselor (NCC) from The National Board for Certified Counselors, Inc. (NBCC).

I have specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and the Collaborative Assessment & Management of Suicidality (CAMS).

Prior to private practice, I worked in community agencies serving clients that were part of failing school systems, disrupted family systems, foster care systems, or the justice system (both adult and juvenile). Some of my clients have also struggled with self-harm, their internal will to live and substance misuse. I have been able to utilize my formal training and hands-on clinical experience to define my professional identify and approach.
