I am passionate about helping clients achieve their goals and lead happy and fulfilling lives! I earned my Bachelor’s degree as a student-athlete at Merrimack College playing football and studying sociology and clinical psychology.  I then earned my Master’s in Social Work at Walden University. Before joining the team at Launch, I’ve enjoyed working within interdisciplinary teams such as PACT (Program for Assertive Community Treatment) and serving diverse populations of all ages who struggle with mental health and/or substance use.

My specialties include:

• Treatment of Anxiety and Panic Disorders
• Trauma Informed Care and Related Disorders (i.e. PTSD)
• Depressive Disorders
• Substance Use Disorders
• ADHD
• LGBTQIA support
• Personality and Mood Related Disorders
• Bipolar Disorders
• Sports Psychology

I utilize evidenced based interventions and practices in my work including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
• Mindfulness and Meditation
• Solution-Focused Therapy
• Motivational Interviewing
• Relapse Prevention Planning

I feel that establishing a strong therapeutic alliance is a key part of the therapy process, and therefore I use empathy and empowerment to build strong relationships with my clients.  I recognize each client’s unique values and strengths.  It is important to meet every client where they are, utilizing a ‘person in environment’ and strength-based approach to promote independence and help each individual meet their goals.

I am looking forward to meeting you!
