Couples therapists in Newton, MA

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience offering individual and family therapy. I have worked with youth ages 3-19 and their families, with a particular passion for supporting foster and adoptive families, LGBTQIA+ youth, and young people with special education needs. As an individual therapist, I have supported adolescents and adults living with the impacts of trauma, substance dependence, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia.

While every person's journey is unique, many clients report feeling more hopeful, confident, and emotionally grounded as they begin the therapeutic process. Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and never judged.

For more than a decade, I've worked with children, teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and everyday stress. I believe that the foundation of successful therapy is a genuine, trusting relationship. I take the time to get to know you, meet you where you are, and tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals.

Clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, and easy to talk to. They appreciate that I balance listening and validation with practical tools they can begin using in their daily lives. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you. My hope is that you'll leave each session feeling heard, supported, and equipped with strategies to help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

I provide a proven mind-body integrated approach that helps adults heal from the impact of trauma, addiction, anxiety, interpersonal problems, self-hate, and more. I am a lifelong learner with vast training and experience in internal family systems (IFS), yoga, polyvagal theory, mindfulness, and self-compassion. I bring a nonjudgmental, compassionate, and open-minded to work with my people.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship concerns, substance use, and re-entry after incarceration. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based, helping clients build resilience, gain insight, and create meaningful change in their lives.

Mental health is nothing to "work on later" or neglect. This is the place you can be vulnerable, emotional and free of judgement. I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.
