About Me
My passion Facilitating stability, healing, growth, and finally wholeness in my clients.
My Love for my WorkI 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 TherapistThe 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 LensMy 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 & ExperienceI 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
