About Your Therapist

I vividly remember telling my grandmother that I wanted to help people who “felt bad feelings” as a young child. As growing up got in the way of intuition, I experienced years in personal and professional indecisiveness. After some blunders, I began pursuing work as a therapist in 2014. I could tell that working as a therapist was my true calling once I began my work in the field of substance use disorders and witnessed individual’s incredible recovery journeys. I’ve learned that all human beings share this common thread— we all know despair, it just looks different for each of us. 

After completing graduate school and working for a large mental health agency, I sought abundant training and certification, broadening my ability to support all the amazing individuals I work with today.  My career as a mental health clinician has allowed me to explore so many areas of needs, including a shift I thought I’d never make, into couples work. I love a challenge! I continue to prioritize training and have varied mentors to draw from, as well as my lived experience as therapy consumer.

My greatest strength is that I’m a good friend. I’m an immigrant, which dictates my work ethic. I was a fast-paced Bostonian for many years, but southern Maine has afforded me the opportunity to appreciate nature & simplicity. I enjoy food, fitness, and a good laugh— accomplishing all three at the same time is a life goal.
