I have a Master’s Degree from Lesley University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have been in practice for 20 years. I had 12 years of clinic work, at North Essex Mental Health Center/H.E.S. before moving to a group practice. I have had my own private practice in Georgetown, MA for the past 9 years. My undergraduate degree is in art, and I was an art teacher at River Valley Charter School in Newburyport, MA for 5 years. I often like to use art as part of my work with children, as it allows them to express themselves in non-verbal and non-threatening ways.
