I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 20 years of experience helping individuals restore balance, build resilience, and reconnect with purpose. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with a compassionate, person-centered style that supports clients in navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

As a bilingual (English/Spanish) and bicultural therapist, I provide a space where every client feels seen, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.

Kokoro—a Japanese word meaning “mind, heart, and spirit”—reflects my belief that healing begins when the whole self is engaged with authenticity and intention.

My path into this work started with film. What drew me was people in their real moments, the hard ones, the ones that matter. In 2004 I volunteered on a suicide hotline, and I didn't want to capture those moments anymore. I wanted to help people find their way through them. That's still what I'm here for.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over two decades of experience across private practice, outpatient care, community mental health, and interdisciplinary teams. I've also held supervisory and leadership roles, mostly with clinicians early in their careers.

I work with adults of all backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ clients, managing anxiety, anger, overthinking, and life transitions. My approach draws on ACT, CBT, and mindfulness based practices, shaped by Taoist philosophy, Zen Buddhism, and existential psychology. I pay close attention, I don't push, and I say what I notice.

Sessions are available via telehealth, Tuesday through Saturday, across Massachusetts.

In a world where there is endless advice, online "experts" and seemingly easy fixes, it can be challenging to hit a roadblock and find that nothing feels quite right. Whether it is depression, anxiety, or just a general sense that something is “off”, it keeps you stuck. And you just can't figure out how to fix it. While I have no answers, I offer a place to pause, reflect, and talk about what’s been holding you back. And most importantly, what you want to happen next.

For ten years, I have worked alongside children with autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and OCD. My career in pediatric nursing shaped how I see each young person I work with: as a whole child in the context of their family, their school, and their community. Now I am building my psychiatric practice around the children who deserve specialized care from someone who genuinely understands them. I work with children, adolescents, and young adults. I take the time needed to get it right, because every child's situation is different.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience in community mental health, crisis intervention, and counseling. I specialize in supporting individuals who have experienced trauma and adversity, and I approach therapy from a holistic perspective—seeing each client as a whole person within the context of their environment.

My work is rooted in being trauma-informed, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I often integrate somatic therapy and mindfulness, recognizing that trauma is carried not only in the mind but also in the body. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their experiences, build resilience, and move toward healing.

As a licensed substance use and addiction counselor, I believe that recovery is not a one-size-fits-all journey—it’s a deeply personal process that deserves compassion, respect, and hope. Every individual’s story is unique, and so are the reasons behind their struggles with substance use. My approach is rooted in the belief that healing happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and supported without judgment. I view my role not as someone who tells clients what recovery “should” look like, but as a guide who helps them discover what recovery means for them.
