Biography
I am a licensed mental health counselor with a 10 year background working with patients. I started working in Human Services in 2009, with the beginning of my professional foundation built on residential and case management experience. From there, I was given the opportunity to work at Lowell Adult Day Treatment and Bridgewell Counseling Services to assist those with persistent and chronic mental illness. My experience gained from this organization includes treating; anxiety, depression, substance use, and a specialty in treating various different cultures. After five wonderful years, I started working for Lowell House, Inc., providing clinical services to the Middlesex Sherriff’s Office, supervising the Glenice Sheehan Women’s residential program and providing individual and group therapy to those pursuing their own recovery.
My philosophy is that counseling is a journey where we learn about ourselves, our struggles and most importantly, our strengths. My biggest priority in therapy is to provide a safe space; one free of judgement, to promote trust by learning from one another, and feeling supported in the most difficult areas in our lives.
My practice is one of which incorporates an eclectic therapeutic approach from holistic practices to the utilization of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I believe the strongest relationships are formed through trust and feedback. I always encourage you to share your thoughts and feedback, because this is YOUR treatment and if it does not feel right to you, let me know and we can work together on getting you your best fitting treatment.
