A bit about my educational journey: Upon Graduating from High School in Oregon, I headed East. I earned my Bachelors Degree in Communication Studies from Emerson College in Boston where I minored in Psychology. My Masters in Clinical Mental Health came years later from Lesley University in Cambridge, MA.

I work with individuals and people in relationships navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, shame, anger, relationship distress, parenting, adoption, identity, and life transitions. Together, we'll slow down enough to notice what has been difficult to see, better understand what's happening beneath the surface, and explore new ways of relating to yourself and others.

I’m Tori, a fully licensed independent clinical social worker, Certified Holistic Counselor, and Certified Brainspotting Practitioner. Over the years, I’ve worked with people in many different settings, but I’ve found that I especially love working with women and young adults who are trying to find their way back—or forward—to themselves.

Many of the women I work with are the people everyone else counts on. They may be successful, capable, caring, and getting things done while privately struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, relationship patterns, or the weight of past experiences. I also have experience supporting women healing from gender-based violence, including intimate partner violence and sexual trauma.

I also really enjoy working with young adults ages 18–25. Becoming an adult can be exciting, confusing, lonely, overwhelming, and sometimes all of those things at once. You may be figuring out who you are, what you want, relationships and friendships, family dynamics, school or work, independence, or why everyone else seems to have this whole adulthood thing figured out when you definitely do not.

I don’t believe you need to become a different person to feel better. I believe you already have strengths, resources, and parts of yourself worth trusting. Therapy can help you understand yourself more deeply, let go of patterns that no longer serve you, develop new tools, and build a life that feels more like your own.
