Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in New Bedford, MA

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 25 years' experience, who specializes in helping adults learn skill to cope with anxiety, trauma, depression and difficult relationship experiences, including narcissistic abuse and coercive control.

Clients often tell me they feel deeply heard, validated, and understood in our work together. I balance insight oriented exploration with practical tools you can use in your daily life.

I work with adults who want to better understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so they can feel less overwhelmed by anxiety or depression. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening beneath the surface and develop practical tools that support both your immediate relief and your longer-term goals. My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and paced to match where you are right now.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing support to adults and university students around managing anxiety, life transitions, stress, career and academics, improving body image, and navigating interpersonal relationships. I have extensive experience working with young adults in college mental health settings, having trained at MIT and Tufts University, and having worked as a staff psychologist at the Harvard University Counseling Center. My approach in therapy is supportive, warm, active, curious, non-judgmental and caring. Please email me to schedule a free 15 minute consult to see if we would be a good fit for therapy.

My work centers on women’s wellness, with a focus on supporting women navigating ADHD, ASD, chronic stress, anxiety, nervous system dysregulation, and life transitions. Through working with a diverse range of clients, I’ve found that many women move through life feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, and stuck in survival mode.

My philosophy is very Jungian-based. I offer a masculine perspective to help those in learning about how to help relate to themselves better and then offer better relationships with others. My work is centered on the truth that when we see reality we are set free. The matrix keeps you stuck and enslaved. My mission is to help people free themselves so they can connect to their true nature and feel more fulfilled. I use health, nature, sexuality, and spirit to help others.

I graduated from Simmons University with my Masters's Degree in Social Work in 2023. I have over 14 years of work and volunteer experience working with adolescents between the ages of 14-22 year olds. For the past 8 years, I have been working with young men between the ages of 13-21 in an alternative school setting. Over the last several years, I have taken a special interest in helping students navigate the emotional and logistical transition from high school into adulthood.

With over 15 years of experience, I believe in considering the unique perspectives and experiences of each individual and tailoring the counseling process to your needs and context.

Struggling with insomnia, anxiety, or depression?

I use a little known approach called CBT-I for Insomnia treatment. Together, we'll build practical skills to help you sleep better, break unhelpful patterns, and move toward a life that feels more meaningful. But you don't need to have insomnia to see me. I'm a goal-focused therapist who believes lasting change happens one step at a time. Progress isn't about perfection—it's about continuing to move forward, one step at a time.
