Overview
My aim will be to work with you on identifying your specific goals related to anxiety, stress and/or BFRBs, increasing your awareness of your thoughts, emotions and behaviors, and learning and using healthier strategies.
I found my passion for helping clients with BFRBs and anxiety during my 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania and worked at McLean Hospital outside Boston for 14 years. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and have worked as an executive function coach. I am licensed in both PA and MA and can work with clients via telehealth in either state.
My approach is collaborative, empathic, and goal-focused. Please reach out to me if you are looking to better manage your BFRBs, anxiety and stress and live a happier, healthier life!
