I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in Massachusetts. I offer comprehensive treatment combining medication with lifestyle and behavioral interventions. I help adult clients manage conditions such as depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders and substance use disorder. I also specialize in helping women navigate the peri and postpartum periods. I use evidence-based treatments that consider the client’s biological, psychological, spiritual, and social needs.
I am a licensed mental health counselor in the Tampa Bay Area and provide therapy in Florida and Massachusetts. I have over 12 years of experience in the mental health field. I have a background in treating co-occurring disorders, common mental health and life challenges. I am passionate about helping young adults, women, and members of the faith community.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe wholeheartedly in empowering and enhancing one's capacity to address your own needs. You have the power and expertise within; it is a matter of finding a way to maximize it.
My therapeutic method is tailored to fit your temperament and individual experience. You may be facing a combination of personal, social, and institutional adversity. Discomfort may be unavoidable, but you are not alone; I can help you transform hardship or tragedy into resilience. My process is effective; it evolves as you do. If you experience negative feelings like inadequacy, grief, or shame, I can help you understand the origin of the discomfort and make changes toward ease. Sometimes, worry can be helpful; other times, anxiety and depression lie to us. Having worked in both economically-strained and prosperous communities, I have seen the impact of trauma and neglect on various people. I also understand being a white male can insulate me against the prejudice and discrimination commonly experienced by people of color, women, and the LGBTQ community; I trust my client’s experiences and take responsibility for my blind spots.
Hello! I’m a licensed mental health counselor who truly cares about creating a safe, supportive space where people feel comfortable being themselves. I work with individuals facing trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, parent/child concerns, and many of life’s difficult transitions.
I understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming. Opening up about painful or uncomfortable parts of your life takes courage, and you don’t have to do it alone. I’ve dedicated myself to learning the skills needed to walk alongside people during these moments, at a pace that feels right for them. For me, this work is more than a career — it’s a calling.
Is there a heavy feeling in your chest that you just can't seem to shake? Do you ever feel as if your coping skills are not working or you just don't have the desire to even try anymore? Are you losing sleep because your thoughts are racing? Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Anger Management, Family Issues, Maritial Infidelity, ADHD or Life Transitions? If it is difficult for you, then it's important to talk about. Therapy will help you to explore your understanding of why you feel the way you do.
Struggling with insomnia, anxiety, or depression? Together, we'll build practical skills to help you sleep better, break unhelpful patterns, and move toward a life that feels more meaningful. I'm a goal-focused therapist who believes lasting change happens one step at a time. Progress isn't about perfection—it's about continuing to move forward, one step at a time.
Becoming a licensed clinical social worker has always been a career goal. Growing up, I constantly advocated for vulnerable populations and had a deep understanding of people’s emotions. As the oldest child and daughter, understanding family dynamics, worldviews, and individual experiences came naturally. In my career, I’ve provided psychotherapy to court-ordered parents working to reunite with their children, teens in a school setting as a behavioral health therapist, and millennial individuals as a primary therapist. As a first-generation college graduate, an entrepreneur, and a businesswoman, I also understand the challenges that come with starting something from scratch and learning as you go. Sometimes, you need to speak with a relatable yet unbiased party to process your thoughts and feelings about everyday stressors that you may not feel comfortable sharing openly. I use evidence-based practices and unconventional interventions to reach clients where they are.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. There are credentials I could list and ways for you to assess why I am the right clinician for you, and while those things matter, what I find most true is this: I care deeply about this work.
Finding the right therapist is hard, and on behalf of all therapists, I'm sorry this is true. I won't promise a "safe space" for the people I work with, but I can promise an accountable one. I am committed to learning alongside you, knowing that we will teach each other what comes next. I will create the container for our work, and together, I hope to build a foundation of trust that allows you to heal, grow, challenge, accept, and integrate all that has brought you here.
Many people who come to see me are living with depression, overwhelmed with anxiety, or are processing and healing from past trauma. You might be going through a major life transition or find your usual ways of coping are no longer working. You might feel stuck, uncertain, and disconnected from yourself. Investing in therapy can be difficult when there are so many other things that demand your attention. My role is to help you explore what is important to you, what is getting in the way, and make realistic, actionable steps towards your goals.
Disclaimer: My current role as an Access Clinician at Harvard University Health Services allows me to work with folx from all walks of life. I hold a small caseload in my private practice to focus on my clinical interests. Due to my role, I do not see any actively enrolled Harvard students in my private practice. However, this means you can see me at CAMHS for short-term counseling.
I have worked in the field of psychology for over 25 years and hold two Master’s degrees as well as a PhD in Neuropsychology. I provide psychotherapy for individuals across the lifespan and specialize in the treatment of mood disorders, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
I also work with individuals who are navigating major life stressors such as divorce, career transitions, and other significant changes. In addition, I help clients address concerns related to anger management, chronic stress, and the psychological impact of health issues.
My goal is to support clients in developing effective coping strategies, gaining insight, and making meaningful changes that improve their overall well-being and quality of life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Boston, MA
Searching for therapists in Boston starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Boston has a broad community of therapists across neighborhoods like Back Bay, South End, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, and Cambridge, which gives you many options to compare. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you review Boston therapists, look for specialties, therapy styles, and listed experience that align with your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for specific life stages.
In a large city like Boston, more options can make it harder to narrow the search. Location may matter if you want in-person therapy near home, work, school, or a transit route, while virtual appointments may fit better if your schedule changes from week to week. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you compare communication style, approach, and what sessions may be like before you book.
Therapy in Boston can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show an estimated out-of-pocket cost before your first session. You can filter for therapists in Boston by insurance, specialty, availability, and appointment format, then review profiles and book directly when youre ready.
