I am an LMHC who specializes in disability, chronic pain, trauma, grief, and LGBTQIA+ issues. I graduated from Suffolk University with an Masters of Science in mental health counseling.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with years of experience working with a variety of clients, including both children and adults. I have experience supporting individuals with depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, functional neurological disorder, dissociative identity disorder, bipolar disorder, psychosis, personality disorders, trauma, and more.
Whether you're in the middle of something difficult or just know that something needs to change, this is a good place to start. You deserve a space where you feel truly understood, and that's exactly what therapy here is designed to offer.
I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, substance use, problem gambling, and those who simply feel stuck or uncertain about their next step. Together, we'll work to uncover what's been holding you back and build toward the life you're looking for.
With a background in athletics and mental performance, I bring a unique perspective to this work, especially for those navigating pressure, confidence, identity, and personal growth.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA Therapist in Boston, MA
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Boston starts with looking for identity-affirming care. The right therapist should have experience supporting LGBTQIA+ people and the concerns that may bring someone to therapy, including identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or stress. As you compare therapists, look for terms like affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, therapy for gay men, lesbian therapist, gay relationship counseling, or LGBTQIA+ couples therapy. A therapist’s listed specialties and bio can show whether their training matches what you want to discuss.
Boston has many therapists across neighborhoods like the South End, Jamaica Plain, Back Bay, and Cambridge-adjacent areas, which can make the search broad. Some people prefer an office that fits their commute or is easy to reach by transit, while others use virtual sessions to expand access to affirming therapists beyond nearby neighborhoods. To narrow your search, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and explicitly mentions LGBTQIA+ populations in their profile. Free phone consultations can also help you learn more about a therapist’s style before booking an ongoing session.
Therapy in Boston can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway lets you search for Boston therapists who match your preferences, review detailed bios, enter your insurance information, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can compare therapists, confirm fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
