I am the owner and founder of Sanative Counseling and Wellness Center, LLC.
I am an energetic psychotherapist who is licensed in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Rhode Island. I work with children beginning at age 5 through adulthood. I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing issues with trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and relationship/family concerns.
I aim to provide a comfortable space where children and adults alike can begin to work through issues that may be hindering their abilities to achieve their personal goals. I am available for parenting consultation to help incorporate interventions within the household and to assist in improving relationships and communication.
I utilize an individualized-based approach that incorporates aspects of Brainspotting, the Attachment, Regulation, and Competency (ARC) framework, a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) — identifying connections between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, mindfulness — promoting relaxation and awareness, and relational work — improving interpersonal interactions — with warmth and humor.
I am a mental health counselor licensed in the state of Massachusetts and have served in the mental health field since 2009. I work primarily with adults who are facing anxiety, phase-of-life issues, relationship concerns (family or otherwise), difficulty with mood management, and struggles with self-esteem and direction. I have enjoyed working with clients in a variety of settings, including office-based outpatient, residential day programing, community tele-health, and clinical street outreach with individuals experiencing homelessness. My background also includes specifically supporting persons diagnosed with serious mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
I believe we are all on a journey and that each of us can benefit from engaging in therapy, whether in seasons of despair or as ongoing self-care. Welcoming another person into one’s healing process takes courage and vulnerability. My role as a clinician is to listen well, to be fully present, and to hold space for my clients to safely explore their challenges without fear of judgment. I encourage curiosity and help clients to connect the dots between their past, present, and future, walking with them as they gain insight, discover their own strengths and determine next steps towards health and wholeness. We work together to identify internal and external resources that can help sustain the client moving forward.
I use a trauma-informed eclectic approach to therapy, letting my clients’ individual personalities, experiences and goals inform which techniques we use in session. The primary theories and techniques I have historically practiced include but are not limited to choice theory, psychoeducation, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, reality therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

Sometimes life can seem difficult, sometimes you feel as though your words are not coming out right, sometimes you feel as though your voice is not being heard, sometimes we feel overwhelmed or misunderstood and sometimes we just don’t feel happy. During those moments, it is important to have a safe and non-judgmental space to discuss your stressors and find support in identifying tools to utilize to find balance to lead you to your road of living a happy and healthy life.
Ultimately, I enjoy supporting others to engage in self-exploration so that they can feel encouraged to live the life they want to live. My specialty includes empathetically working together with my clients to support them in navigating their thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
My approach combines motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I will tailor our sessions and treatment plans to meet you where you're at and serve your specific needs.

My extensive experience in both education and mental health provides me with a deep understanding of many of the situations parents face today. Presenting issues I have the most experience with include attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, learning disabilities, cognitive delay, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis, explosive behavior, and school-based problems/individualized education program (IEP) issues.
I specialize in working with parents and caregivers using Collaborative Problem Solving®️ (CPS), an evidence-based, proven approach which is applicable to anyone, regardless of formal diagnoses for you or your child. CPS is accessible to everyone, and you can implement collaborative problem solving in your life right away. The core philosophy is that challenging behavior is a result of lagging thinking skills.
CPS is proven to reduce challenging behavior, reduce parent stress, improve relationships, and most importantly, build skills that we all need to do well. Parents are doing the best they can do with the skills they have. The idea is that caregivers and children do well if they can. If they are not doing well, something is getting in the way.
When you embark on a therapeutic journey with me, you can expect to be an equal partner in the process. We will collaboratively chart a course and develop a new set of skills that you can carry with you going forward. Through CPS, you will learn to cultivate empathy for yourself and others, reduce conflicts, enhance relationships, alleviate stress, and develop invaluable life-long skills. Reach out today and let's begin this transformative journey together.
