When Life Feels Upside Down,

Therapy Can help!

Life pushes you to bend, twist and turn in all sorts of ways, often leaving you feeling like life has been turned upside down. Right side up therapy strives to help you separate the challenges and identify strategies, insight, and new ways of enriching life to reach your potential and realize your hopes, dreams, and goals.

Therapy is a journey in which you will over time, learn how to see the forest through the trees, gaining self-awareness and perspective. However, the journey is driven by you, and the working relationship we create together.

Psychotherapy and the process each person experiences is unique and varies depending on the personality of both the therapist and the patient as well as the particular problems the patient brings to treatment. Therapy is most beneficial when independent work is done in between sessions. To this end, at the end of most sessions, I will make suggestions on topics to read and learn more about or strategies to work on in between sessions, it will be important to do this work at home and to be as engaged in our sessions as possible.

About Me

I have been in private practice for over 10 years and work primarily with clients who battle depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and Adjustment Disorder.  I have worked in a variety of fields such as domestic violence, crisis intervention, developmental disabilities, healthcare, and public education. In addition to my private practice, I currently hold a position as a Special Education Administrator and have been working in the field of public education for the past 9 years. 

Having spent time in Latin America and Europe, 3 years between Ecuador and Honduras and 3 years between England and Switzerland, I have an intimate connection to those cultures and languages, which helps me bridge the gaps between systems and the communities I work in, as well as the ups and downs of ex-pat life. I am proficient in Spanish and French and therapy is available in both languages.

I hold a BSW from Siena College, an MSW from the Boston College Graduate School of Social Work, and recently earned an Advanced Certificate of Graduate Studies from Salem State University in Educational Leadership

Given my full-time employment in the public school system, I am available for sessions in the evenings and during school vacations and holidays. My typical availability is below.
