Hello! I have worked with diverse populations across all ages and life stages over the past eight years. My focus is on working with self-esteem, mood disorders and trauma-informed care. My experiences allow me to meet you exactly where you are with a grounded perspective, ready to listen and support. I look forward to hearing from you to learn more about you. Meadow Path offers two types of services in Massachusetts: telehealth is available for all of the Commonwealth; and a hybrid option (combining primarily telehealth appointments coupled with structured in-person appointments featuring farm- and nature-based activities) may be available for those who are in the western Massachusetts area. My approach is maintaining an air of curiosity and applying integrative and evidence-based techniques such as CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and EMDR therapies. I also apply Expressive Arts, Narrative Therapy, and even eco-therapy techniques at times to maintain a sense of innovative exploration to keep our work dynamic. Currently I provide individual therapy services are available for those aged pre-teens and above. With Meadow Path Counseling Services, we strive to provide a compassionate, inclusive, and culturally sensitive space. Together, we will navigate life transitions to process and explore. By focusing on your unique strengths and interests, we’ll work to heal past pains and cultivate a deeper sense of meaning. I take my cue from you, collaborating to ensure we reach your personal goals.

I’m an LCSW with nearly 20 years of experience working across outpatient therapy, school-based settings, home-based services, crisis intervention, and telehealth. Over the course of my career, I’ve worked with people across a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and life circumstances, which has taught me to quickly understand what each person needs and adapt accordingly. My particular area of focus is relational trauma, especially the lasting impact of manipulation, control, emotional invalidation, and difficult family dynamics. I work with adults who may have spent years questioning themselves, over-explaining, people-pleasing, feeling responsible for other people’s emotions, or struggling to trust their own perceptions. I have a particular interest in helping adults of manipulative or narcissistic parents, partners, or caregivers understand these patterns and begin to reclaim a stronger sense of self. Clients often describe feeling supported and understood rather than judged. My goal is not simply to help someone cope with what is happening, but to help them develop greater clarity about their experiences and relationships, recognize patterns that may no longer serve them, develop greater compassion for themselves, and build the confidence and courage to make meaningful changes. I believe therapy should be collaborative and individualized. I respect each client’s values, beliefs, spirituality, culture, and perspective on what healing and wellness mean to them, and I work with clients to identify approaches that feel both supportive and genuinely useful within the systems they are part of.
