Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker | Certified Dementia Practitioner

Boston, MA | In-Person & Telehealth Sessions

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) with more than two decades of clinical experience helping adults navigate complex emotional, relational, and medical challenges. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Boston College and have dedicated my career to providing thoughtful, evidence-based care rooted in authenticity, compassion, and the belief that genuine change is possible at every stage of life.

My areas of specialization include anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, medical conditions, LGBTQ+ identity and relationships, grief and loss, end-of-life issues, and advanced care planning. My integrative approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and a Humanistic framework. I believe that movement is medicine, and that healing emerges through the mind–body connection — where awareness, purpose, and action intersect.

As a gay clinician, I am deeply committed to creating an affirming, inclusive space where clients can explore identity, relationships, and resilience with honesty and respect. I strive to help each person cultivate balance, clarity, and a renewed sense of possibility in their lives.

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


I love working with clients who are reflective, open to self-exploration and ready to challenge long-standing beliefs about themselves. I help adults build confidence, improve emotional regulation, strengthen relationships, and develop healthier coping strategies for managing stress, anxiety, or trauma-related symptoms. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where clients gain practical tools to interrupt negative thought cycles, process difficult experiences, and move toward a more balanced, self-compassionate way of living. This helps clients experience greater clarity, stronger boundaries, and improved self-worth.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Boston

Finding OCD therapists in Boston starts with looking for training that matches the care you need. Exposure and Response Prevention, often called ERP, is a common evidence-based approach for OCD, and many people also look for support with intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, anxiety, and related stress. Not all therapists who list OCD have specific ERP training, so review each bio for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Boston has many mental health care options across neighborhoods like Back Bay, Cambridge, Fenway, and the South End, which can make it harder to narrow your search. If you want in-person OCD therapy near you, consider commute time, transit access, and office location. If you prefer virtual sessions, you may have more scheduling options across Massachusetts. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how clearly they describe their approach to OCD therapy.

Therapy in Boston can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you compare OCD therapists in Boston who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
