Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Beginning or continuing therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, validated, and genuinely understood.

Therapist

You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel aligned with who you are. Many of my clients are insightful, sensitive, and capable, yet struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment wounds, ADHD, or relationship challenges. You may be used to caring for others, masking your needs, or pushing through instead of feeling supported. You’re looking for therapy that feels safe, real, and validating — not judgmental or distant — and you want to better understand yourself, your emotions, and your relationships.

I offer relational, trauma-informed therapy grounded in attachment-based and emotionally focused approaches. I work collaboratively to help clients understand emotional and relational patterns, regulate their nervous systems, and build self-trust and healthier connections. My practice is affirming of neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ identities.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical. I offer a supportive, honest, and affirming space where you don’t have to mask or explain yourself. Whether you’re navigating trauma, relationships, identity, or emotional overwhelm, you deserve therapy that feels human, safe, and respectful of who you are.

I'm a licensed psychotherapist who works with BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and/or neurodivergent adults who have spent a lot of time trying to understand themselves, but still feel stuck in painful patterns. You may already know where your struggles come from, yet find that insight alone hasn't brought the relief, self-compassion, or change you're hoping for. I've been a therapist for 5 years, and my training in internal family systems (IFS) therapy and somatic approaches has helped clients move beyond insight, experience relief in the body, and feel more whole and connected to themselves, others, and the world around them.

If you're driven, dedicated, and ready for change but feel stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, negative self-talk, or self-doubt, you're not alone. Therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, build confidence, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master's in Clinical Mental Health and a second Master's in the Art of Teaching. I specialize in women's issues, LGBTQIA+ issues, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and personal growth. My approach is person-centered and strength-based, providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, develop practical coping skills, and move toward the life you want to create.

My clinical experience includes working with adults, adolescents, and children in inpatient, school-based, and community mental health settings. In addition to my clinical work, I am the author of a children's book on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), reflecting my passion for making emotional wellness and coping skills accessible at every stage of life. These experiences have equipped me to support clients navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the effects of difficult life experiences.

My goal is to help you quiet your inner critic, embrace your strengths, and become the most authentic version of yourself.

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


I have over 25 years’ experience and training in psychiatric rehabilitation sciences and approach therapy from a recovery model. I believe that with the right skills and supports people can do anything. I use a strengths-based approach; rather than focusing on diagnosis I focus on what the individual brings to therapy, what obstacles are present and the individual’s strengths. I work hard to facilitate a trusting relationship and create a non-judgmental space for my clients to grow and thrive. I utilize CBT, Relapse Prevention and Motivational Enhancement Therapy. I believe people are the expert in their recovery, and it is my job to help bring that expertise to the forefront of treatment.
