Qualifications

​I earned my Masters in Social Work from Simmons College in 2005. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in the state of Massachusetts. I am also a member of the National Association of Social Workers and Postpartum Support International. I hold a certificate for the use of CBT for Perinatal Emotional Complications. I have specialized training in treating the pregnant and postpartum populations. 

Prior to opening my private practice, I worked in an outpatient trauma clinic where I treated children, adults, and families.  I worked with clients with a variety of diagnoses, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and personality disorders.  

I also have experience working in a psychiatric hospital with adults who have major mental illness. 

In the News

I have contributed to articles that were published in both Reader's Digest and Boston Parents Paper about the postpartum period for women. I have also appeared on Fox 25 News, discussing risks in the mental health community.
