I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCS 18903) and received my training at Smith College School for Social Work in Northampton, Massachusetts. I have been providing therapy to individuals, couples, groups, and families for over 15 years and have worked with patients in medical clinics, psychiatric inpatient units, schools, and in private practice. I love helping a wide variety of individuals and have worked with folks as young as 5 years and as experienced as 73!
I am psychodynamically trained, which means I focus on how a person’s early-life experience shapes their view of the world, their own self-concept, and their interactions with others. I am also primarily attachment-focused, meaning that I believe that the quality of an individual’s primary relationships at a young age is of vital importance to their formation of self.
I strive to balance a warm, nurturing, accepting style with an ability to gently hold clients accountable to their own goals and stated values. People I work with describe me as insightful, non-judgmental, and easy to open up to.
