Specialized Training:
Over 30 years ago I began as a paraprofessional and for the past 19 years as a mental health therapist/registered social worker. Some of the issues addressed include: family separation, divorce, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, abuse and neglect. Expressive play therapy is my foundation. I completed the Infant-Parent Mental Health Post-Graduate Program from the University of Massachusetts Boston, the Adult Attachment Interview Training, Watch, Wait and Wonder Intervention, Child-Parent Psychotherapy and the Circle of Security Parenting. I provide home/place based child-parent psychotherapy.

Personal Statement:
I am passionate about my work with children and parents. Children and parents who work with me have an opportunity to explore difficult experiences in a nurturing holding environment. A space is created where parent and child emerge with a sense of relief, a settling, and a feeling of solid strength as they continue on the journey of love and joy. As a mother of three adult children and a grandmother I smile and appreciate gratitude each day.
