\nMy mission in life is to be present with those in crisis, where resources and hope seem beyond reach. To discover resource together.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
I\u2019ve done this as an agroecologist, a researcher of prejudice reduction, chaplaincy, community organizing, and therapy. As an agroecologist I worked in agricultural development in Ecuador. As a non-representational chaplain I worked in a Trauma Level 1 hospital with trauma patients, on the cancer and open heart wards, as well as the neonatal and infusion centers. I addressed racism as a qualitative researcher, eliciting stories at the community level, then ran my own business as a community organizer, and program developer. I worked with at-risk youth to developing pathways to green-careers and with adults living with mobility-challenges who were fighting for equal access to public transit.<\/p>\n
Now I am a mental health therapist, focusing on transformation from the place of felt-sense, following the model of Emotionally Focused Therapy. I have earned three master’s degrees, ending with my MSW from Boston University.<\/p>\n
I live in Salem and work in Beverly MA, seeing clients virtually and in person.<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\n
<\/h3>\n
My Standpoint<\/h3>\n
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, who joins her clients in the discovery of the hidden treasures found in the world of emotion. I do this through my training as an Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist who is also trained in EMDR, Brainspotting, and Internal Family Systems skills. I recognize my social privilege as a White, sys-gendered heterosexual woman. I\u2019ve lived outside the US for a total of 6 years, off and on since I was five years old, and I speak Spanish with fluency.<\/p>\n
