About me
I am licensed in Massachusetts with 43 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping adolescents with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss and depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower these vulnerable youngsters in that journey.
