Hi, I’m Moe! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes therapy should be a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without fear of judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Connecticut and have experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, disordered eating, body image concerns, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.My background includes residential and outpatient mental health settings, where I’ve supported individuals working through complex emotions, challenging experiences, and patterns that leave them feeling stuck. I’m passionate about helping people better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and discover healthier ways of navigating life’s challenges. Above all, I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported throughout their journey.

Hi, y'all,

I bring 17 years of experience and believe firmly that nothing shifts in the therapeutic space unless clients feel seen and connected to their clinician.

I am warm and direct, personable and challenging. I move through my life with curiosity and wonder at the natural world and the power of relationships.

I love swimming in fresh water, non-fiction books, spending time with my teenagers and hanging out in my gardens. I specialize in sexual and gender identity and look forward to building relationships with people that are motivated to move forward, begin healing and expanding their world.

Simple Intentions Counseling LLC looks for client's that are insightful, curious, and ready to explore the deeper layers of their emotional life. They may be struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship patterns, or a persistent feeling of being “stuck.” They want clarity, self-acceptance, and tools to manage their emotions — but more than that, they want to understand why they feel the way they do. They’re not afraid to be challenged and are open to connecting their current struggles with earlier life experiences. They want lasting change, not quick fixes — and they’re ready to do the work.
