I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been in the field for over 12 years. I have worked in medical settings, youth empowerment programs, social justice nonprofits, and most recently at Massachusetts General Hospital in the Department of Psychiatry. I often work with clients around major medical events/illness (including end of life), grief, substance use, family dynamics, relationship concerns, job stress, body image, and anxiety. I've completed 200HR yoga teacher training and use mindfulness in my therapy practice if it's of interest to the client. Using a client-centered and strength-based approach, I would collaborate with you to create goals for our work together. Humor and self-compassion are often incorporated in my sessions with clients. We often discuss familial, societal, or systemic influences on patterns of behavior and thinking. Contact me to schedule a free 10-minute phone call to talk about whether I may be a good fit for you. I'm glad that you are taking this step to explore therapy. In the meantime - take care!
