Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Lowell, MA

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with nearly 20 years of experience and particular expertise in trauma, anxiety, depression, and culturally responsive care. I received my doctorate degree at William James and my Masters at Boston College. My professional work has included working as a school-based clinician, and working at Boston Children’s Hospital, disseminating national trainings on best practices for providing trauma-informed, culturally responsive mental health care to immigrants and refugees. I use evidence-based therapies while making space to explore identity, relationships, family, and culture. I especially enjoy working with young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, life transitions, and questions of identity or belonging. I have particular interest in working with first-generation immigrants and people balancing different cultural or family expectations while figuring out who they are and what they want. Therapy offers a nonjudgmental space to talk openly, understand yourself and your patterns more deeply, and find ways to move forward that feel right for you.

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker | Certified Dementia Practitioner

Boston, MA | In-Person & Telehealth Sessions

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) with more than two decades of clinical experience helping adults navigate complex emotional, relational, and medical challenges. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Boston College and have dedicated my career to providing thoughtful, evidence-based care rooted in authenticity, compassion, and the belief that genuine change is possible at every stage of life.

My areas of specialization include anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, medical conditions, LGBTQ+ identity and relationships, grief and loss, end-of-life issues, and advanced care planning. My integrative approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and a Humanistic framework. I believe that movement is medicine, and that healing emerges through the mind–body connection — where awareness, purpose, and action intersect.

As a gay clinician, I am deeply committed to creating an affirming, inclusive space where clients can explore identity, relationships, and resilience with honesty and respect. I strive to help each person cultivate balance, clarity, and a renewed sense of possibility in their lives.

I earned my degree in psychology, and a gap year with Jesuit Volunteer Corps in a social justice setting led me to social work. I use a systems approach, meaning I look at the personal, family, and life factors affecting your well-being. My background in foster care, crisis work, community-based care, and therapy gives me a collaborative, well-rounded perspective.
