I'm an experienced community mental health professional and have worked with many individuals living with varying mental health diagnoses. I work closely with a person’s clinical team in order to facilitate a collaborative therapeutic coaching environment. Having experience as a trauma informed yoga teacher, I possess a developed understanding of how to teach a person to build mindfulness techniques in order to increase their ability to effectively engage with DBT skills.
I am a Dialectical Behavioral Therapy coach offering a relaxed environment and I'm dedicated to helping you focus on your wellness and growth as an individual. I work collaboratively with young people and their primary caregivers to enhance a family's understanding of how to best support their loved one.

I received my undergraduate degree; BA in Psychology from University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. In 2019 I earned my professional certificate as a trauma informed yoga instructor upon completing a 200hr YTT course at 4 Corners Yoga and Wellness in Dorchester Mass. I'm an experienced community mental health professional and have worked with many individuals living with varying mental health diagnoses such as personality disorders, PTSD, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and psychotic disorders. I've spent a number of years developing skills in resource coordination, providing case management to folks in their homes and in residential settings, as well as helping individuals develop tools to create manageable routines that promote their overall goals. I am a C-DBT candidate with certification course completion.

I am someone who loves to get outside frequently, all year round. I do this by hiking, biking, and going on plain old walks in my neighborhood. I enjoy doing yoga by myself but have the most fun when I practice in a group of people. Traveling is a passion of mine and I’m most fond of road trips. As active as I am, I also relish the opportunity to relax on a day off and catch a few hours of a new show I’m watching.
