About Us

---

 At Bayside Counseling and Consulting I strive to provide effective and individualized treatment focusing on children, adolescences and young adults.  Adults therapy also available.  I also provide parent coaching and consulting. 

in 2009 as a mother of a young child in need of therapy.  I was a school counselor and had some understanding of what was going on with my child, but I still could not find anyone appropriate for him to work with.  Was there no one on the South Shore who could help us?  It took several years and multiple therapists until I found the perfect fit.  But I now had the desire, the drive and the means to become part of the (much too small) pool of child and adolescent therapists.  

Fast forward to today, I am passionate as ever to help young people, and their parents, understand what is going on their ever-changing and developing minds and bodies.  I utilize an eclectic and personalized therapeutic approach which includes: EMDR (Eye Movement Desenitization and Reprocessing), play therapy, psychoeducation, DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy), CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and meditation.

PARENTING SUPPORT

Parenting can be the most rewarding job, but it can often be challenging, stressful, heartbreaking and frustrating.  There is so much pressure from family, social media, school, coaches and more.
