I earned my Master of Social Work at the University of New England in 2016. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) since 2019 and a Certified Mediator since 2021. I have extensive experience providing therapy for individuals with PTSD, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, chronic pain, and illness. I often use Eye movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) or Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to help support the processing of adverse experiences. I was a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) for 23 years until I retired in 2020. My vast experience of somatic training informs the psychotherapy that I provide to my clients. I began my meditation practice in 2003 at the Kwan Um School of Zen at the Providence Zen Center, Rhode Island and continued my mindfulness practice with Thich Nhat Hanh beginning in 2007 at Blue Cliff Monastery, New york.
