ABOUT

I have over 20 years of mental health experience and started my career in Boston, MA as a mental health outreach worker and a program coordinator for a group home. This experience taught me about the severity of mental health, the impact of the systems in our lives to help and also hurt us and gave me a glaring look and understanding of how the mental health system could be so amazing and helpful but how it woefully falls short and is inadequate, antiquated and non-systemic in treatment.

My formal education and training as a marriage and family therapist began in 2006 and I attended the University of Massachusetts, Boston where I learned to be systemically minded in theory, conceptualization of problems and treatment. This systemic thought permeates all parts of my work and is the foundation of how I approach and think about mental health and relationships.

For the last 14 years I have worked in a variety of settings including home based family/parenting therapy, school based outpatient therapy, individual, couples and family outpatient therapy and played a variety of roles in leadership, management, training and supervising. This experience has helped me understand family systems, relationship dynamics and patterns and created deep insight into people’s lives and the complexity and uniqueness to everyone’s struggles and hurts.

More recently, I have worked with hundreds of couples and helped them work through infidelity, conflict, emotional dysregulation, medical trauma, separations, divorce, communication and connection issues, intimacy struggles and many other issues.

I have training in Ecosystemic Structural Therapy, Gottman, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, EMDR, and have provided training in systemic theory, mindfulness, ethics, and many other topics. I have also supervised many clinicians and an approved AAMFT supervisor.
