Therapist Overview
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who works primarily with children, adolescents, young adults and families. I have many years of private practice experience and specialize in treating clients with anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD, processing and learning differences. I also treat clients affected with executive functioning deficits. Right now is great time to develop a clinical relationship via video to help support transitions back to school and in person settings. I am based out of Newton, MA. I have found that a typical outpatient therapy approach is not always enough to meet the needs of all clients. This is why I have adapted a form of therapeutic practice that takes the best pieces of traditional therapy and combines it in settings of real life. This can be home, community, school or place of work. Currently, this is via video or phone. I draw from many different disciplines to reinforce real life skills building. I coach, mentor, support and utilize empathy and humor with not just my clients but their whole family. I also work to draw from my many years of advocacy and consulting skills to help parents manage the many educational and helping systems that support their child.
