LGBT therapists in Lowell, MA

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 25 years of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I’ve worked in community mental health, school systems, and private practice, and I’m deeply committed to providing culturally affirming care that honors the full complexity of who you are.

Are you someone driven to excel in your profession, academics, or sports, looking to improve your mental well-being, alleviate stress, strengthen relationships, and build self-confidence? As a licensed therapist and sports clinician at a D1 collegiate program, I am committed to supporting ambitious individuals like you in overcoming the obstacles keeping you from achieving your personal and professional goals.

I am dedicated to creating a supportive and collaborative space where you can feel heard and understood. My work is guided by a passion for helping individuals navigate challenges, uncover their strengths, and achieve personal growth. I prioritize staying up-to-date with the latest evidence-based practices through ongoing learning and professional development.

I’m a bilingual (English/Español) Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes therapy shouldn’t feel like a sterile doctor’s appointment. My clients are hardworking adults, professionals, and cycle-breakers who are tired of white-knuckling their way through the week. They come to me dealing with anxiety, massive burnout, ADHD, Autism, and the heavy weight of life transitions. They stay because I skip the clinical robot-speak and get straight to "real talk."

I know what it’s like to juggle impossible schedules, which is exactly why I designed my practice to fit yours. I offer weekend and late-evening virtual sessions so you don’t have to burn your PTO or stress about missing work just to take care of your mental health.

My clinical degree is a Master of Science in Social Administration (MSSA, MSW equivalent) from Case Western Reserve in Cleveland, Ohio (2016). I completed my Master of Education in Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) from University of Cincinnati (2016), and have experience as a provider of ABA services. I have a Doctorate in Behavioral Health from Arizona State University(2020).

I am an LICSW Clinical Social Worker with experience in helping those with depression, ADHD, anxiety, and trauma. I incorporate ACT, CBT, and DBT modalities into my work and am a trained EMDR therapist.

I am accepting new clients. Navigating through life can be challenging. I have extensive experience and advanced training in substance use. My concentrations are substance use, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I am also experienced in providing emotional support with LGBTQ+, life stressors, relationship difficulties, divorce, legal problems, financial issues, or loss. I have worked with adults of diverse backgrounds and all walks of life. Every person's journey is unique. My hope is to support you in your intentions to live your best and most satisfying life.

I have been working with teens and young adults for over 20yrs, mostly in group homes. I specifically work with people who have experienced trauma and lived in foster care. I think it is important for you to have choice and control of your life, and that many systems and therapy have often not been helpful. I want to try something different.

I especially enjoy working with clients who are ready to take that first step toward change, even if they aren’t quite sure where to begin. You don’t need to have all the answers or know exactly what you want to work on to get started. What matters most is a willingness to show up, remain open to new perspectives, and explore the parts of yourself and your experiences that may be difficult to face. Therapy can involve digging deep, challenging familiar patterns, and sitting with uncomfortable feelings, but it can also lead to meaningful growth and a deeper understanding of yourself.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and developmental specialist with 15 years of experience supporting children, caregivers, and families. My background includes working as an in-home clinician in Early Intervention (EI), where I supported multicultural families in their homes and across a variety of settings, including shelters, daycares, and foster care. I worked with children with a wide range of developmental needs, including neurodivergent children, while supporting child development, family dynamics, and practical strategies to address everyday challenges.

I specialize in working with children through young adulthood (age 22).

This experience has strengthened my ability to meet each child and family where they are and provide individualized, culturally responsive support.. Today, I especially enjoy working with teenagers and young adults as they navigate identity, relationships, transitions, stress, and the growing responsibilities of adulthood. I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and I strive to create a space where each client feels respected, understood, and comfortable being themselves.
