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.

Therapist

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.

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.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Brookline

Searching for therapists in Brookline starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience fit your needs. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or another method that fits what you are looking for.

Brookline has a strong mental health care community, but local in-person availability may vary by neighborhood and schedule. If you are looking near Coolidge Corner, Washington Square, Brookline Village, or St. Paul Street, consider commute time, office location, and appointment times. Virtual therapy can also expand your options with Massachusetts-licensed therapists, especially if you need more flexibility. Before booking, review each profile for availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Brookline 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 care begins. Headway helps you search for Brookline therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and schedule directly when you are ready.
