About Me
My passion
Facilitating stability, healing, growth, and finally wholeness in my clients.
My Love for my Work
I feel honored that clients trust me with some of their most tender feelings and experiences. I am often deeply inspired by my clients’ perseverance, courage, and resilience. I consider it a privilege to do this work.
My Best Assets as a Therapist
The balance I strike between my innately analytical mind and the more right-brained intuitive capabilities that I’ve cultivated through trainings over the years.
My highly sensitive and empathic nature.
My personal experience and lessons learned while struggling to heal a multitude of chronic health problems that started in my mid-20’s.
My Holistic Lens
My interest in the mindbody connection began in undergrad while studying Biopsychology. It then became especially relevant as I suffered with many hard-to-diagnose health problems while earning my Masters degree. I’ve focused much of my post grad professional trainings on how to heal using a mindbody approach. And I’ve spent more than two decades learning through living — with success!
I have wide knowledge & training in:
spirituality & suffering
autoimmune conditions & tick-borne infections
nutrition & natural approaches to healing
the effects of chronic stress on the body & stress-relieving techniques
energy medicine principles and methods
My Credentials & Experience
I have been practicing as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) since 2003. I earned a BS from Tufts University in Biopsychology and an MA in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Professional Counseling and holistic emphasis at Lesley University. I am a member of the American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA) and the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology (ACEP). I am licensed in NH (#665) and I have permission to treat clients in FL as well. (See https://flhealthsource.gov/telehealth/ for details on FL telemental health.)
Prior to being in private practice, my counseling experience includes volunteering at a domestic violence shelter, interning at a college counseling center, and working with two different residential programs that helped those recovering from involvement in high-control, destructive religious groups.
“I don’t believe in the mind-body connection because I don’t believe there is any mind-body separation… what’s in the brain is in the body, and what’s in the body is in the brain.”
— David Grand, innovator of the Brainspotting technique
