I am a Clinical Social Worker, psychotherapist and Reiki practitioner offering in-person and telehealth sessions for adults and adolescents/young adults on the North Shore.
My therapy style is practical, gentle and significantly informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS). I integrate mindfulness-based practices, including Reiki, visualization and breathing techniques, into therapy sessions. I encourage clients to access and utilize internal resources, such as curiosity, self-compassion and confidence, to support their process of growth, change and healing in a trauma-informed and client-directed way.
With more than 17 years of experience in community-based mental health settings and fluency in Spanish, my treatment focus and general interests include anxiety, depression, chronic stress, trauma, grief/loss, compassion fatigue/burnout, chronic pain, and social/racial/gender and restorative justice.
