Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or life experiences that have left them feeling disconnected from themselves or uncertain about how to move forward. I believe that healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and accepted. I am passionate about helping clients recognize their strengths, reconnect with their authentic selves, and build lives that feel more grounded, meaningful, and aligned with who they are.
I earned my Master's degree from Springfield College in 2007 and bring nearly two decades of clinical experience across a wide range of settings, including outpatient clinics, in-home therapy, residential treatment, juvenile justice programs, school-based services, and as a school adjustment counselor. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how trauma, relationships, and life experiences shape emotional well-being across the lifespan. While my background includes extensive work with children, adolescents, and families, my practice is primarily focused on supporting teens and adults who are navigating life's challenges. I am committed to providing culturally responsive, affirming care that honors each person's unique identity and lived experience.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Drug & Alcohol Counselor with 8 years of experience working with adults. I specialize in substance use disorders, crisis intervention, suicidal ideation, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and personality disorders — areas I approach with both clinical rigor and genuine compassion. I work exclusively through telehealth, which means you can connect with me from wherever you feel most at ease. My practice is intentionally small, so I can give each person the focused time and attention they deserve. I come to this work having seen the real impact that burnout, stigma, and lack of support can have — and I believe everyone deserves care that meets them where they are.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Braintree
Searching for therapists in Braintree starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want to work on. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and background to see whether their training matches your needs. Bios can also show how a therapist structures sessions, what types of therapy they use, and what you can expect from the first appointment.
Braintree has local therapy options, but nearby availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your choices across Massachusetts while still letting you work with a licensed therapist who fits your preferences. As you compare Braintree therapists, look at appointment times, whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading profiles before booking can help you assess communication style and decide who may be a good fit.
Therapy in Braintree 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 your first visit. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can compare matches and book directly when you’re ready.
