In addition to my clinical work, I serve as a Professor at William James College, where I help educate and mentor future mental health professionals. This role allows me to stay connected to the latest developments in counseling practice while contributing to the growth of the profession.
I am passionate about helping people strengthen relationships, discover resilience, and create lasting positive change. My goal is to provide a welcoming environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout their journey toward wellness.
I look forward to the opportunity to support you and your loved ones on your path to healing and growth.
