I have many years of experience working with parents and young adults under and over 18 years of age with personal struggles connected to Bipolar Disorder, Depression, gender identity, anxiety disorder (anxiety NOS, OCD, agoraphobia, Munchausen syndrome by proxy), and individuals with physical disabilities. I spent five years working with individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia and other related disorders. I have worked with couples via individual therapy while combining couples therapy with adults looking for both. I have an eclectic style incorporating numerous modalities. I participated in a year-long study implementing Motivational Interviewing techniques and approaches and have engaged in maintaining those techniques to help individuals struggling with addictions connected to sex, gambling, internet, and alcohol and drugs. I attended Fitchburg State University graduating in 2006. I have engaged in completing continuing education certificates in Expressive and Alternative Therapies, Sports Therapy, Art Therapy, Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Childhood, Multi-Cultural Counseling and Therapy, Middle Aged Men and Suicide, and Family Systems.
