About
As a veteran, son, grandson, brother, and now mental health clinician, I see how everyone has multiple identities that shape them into who they are and yet can come into conflict sometimes, and that's okay; let me help you with that!
I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with 6 years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in working with adults, veterans, retirees, and individuals navigating military transitions, trauma, life changes, aging concerns, and high-demand environments such as academics and athletics.
I earned my master’s degree in social work from Boston College with a specialization in trauma. I utilize motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy, and social skills training to create a collaborative, dialogue-based approach that supports meaningful growth and lasting change.
I strive to create a warm, supportive space where you feel heard and respected. Together, we will focus on your goals, strengthen your resilience, and develop practical tools to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Caring and creative licensed professional with over 20 years' combined experience in education, mental health, and healthcare sectors, bringing together a uniquely diverse set of clinical and evaluative skills in order to promote optimal human development and functioning.
I am a warm, well-rounded, resourceful, and seasoned Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Massachusetts with 16 years of experience in the field (six of which are at Thriveworks). I have graduate degrees from Harvard and UMass Boston.
I am an innovative, accessible helper with experience helping a wide variety of individuals. I help clients see how physical and mental health are interconnected, and I help them work through stuck thinking, like ambivalence, rumination, and spiral thinking, teaching tools for change. I rely on psychological theories and evidence-based modalities.
I am straightforward and easy to talk with, emotionally and intellectually present during sessions, and will give it my all. I am relentless in helping and I do my best in getting my clients to a better place.

As a compassionate and culturally conscious psychotherapist with over 8 years of experience, I specialize in addressing a wide range of mental health concerns and supporting individuals facing complex life challenges and stressors, integrating empathy, cultural sensitivity, and evidence-based practices to empower individuals, couples, and families to thrive.
I’m a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of experience supporting clients through anxiety, PTSD, depression, stress, major life transitions, and relationship challenges. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning after difficult past experiences, I’m here to help you navigate what comes next. I believe in expanding your resilience, building on your strengths, and helping you move through life with more clarity, confidence, and emotional freedom.
I hold a master’s in clinical mental health counseling from Bay Path University. I integrate acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, family systems, and an interpersonal process to offer individualized, culturally responsive, and compassionate care.
I know that no single approach works for everyone, so I show up with curiosity, empathy, and a bit of humor as we get to know one another. Together, we’ll explore new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating to the world so you can realign with your values, reconnect with yourself, and build the life you want to live.

Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
You can learn to better your relationship by improving time management, getting your priorities straight, and working on effective communication with your partner. A couples counselor at Thriveworks Amherst can help you to accomplish all of these goals, and in turn, create a happier, healthier relationship and life together.
