I am a Massachusetts native with a varied work background before entering the therapy field in my early 30s. I spent my 20s working a myriad of jobs, including a 5-year period as a pastry chef in a Boston-area bakery (I've made 10s of 1000s of croissants). I share this background information because I am a very firm believer that, 1.) a therapist should never be a completely blank slate, which you know nothing about, and 2.) because life comes with many twists and turns. I like to incorporate my own experience of an unconventional background to help my clients find their own flexibility around how life can unfold when we allow ourselves to flow with what comes to us.
In my personal time outside of therapy, I spend my time exercising, meditating, reading, and spending time with my husband and English bulldog. I have a tendency to spend quite some time pondering the mysteries of this life, and I am more than happy to dive into those deeper existential waters with those like-minded souls. I am happy to explore the more spiritual side with my clients as well, as I have found a great comfort in the spiritual practices that I have developed through years of self-exploration.
