Grief counselors and therapists in Newton, MA

I cannot move mountains for you, but I can help you climb. Facing fears, healing from loss, finding meaning and joy - these are the inevitable tasks of life. Therapy may be your first step or your last resort. Often people avoid it all together because they believe their pain is too great, worry they will be judged or that their situation is too complicated. Some people believe they should solve problems on their own or only with family and friends. However, while family and friends may want the best for us, they often come with opinions or past hurts. Sometimes it helps to have a safe space outside your daily experience.

Welcome, I’m glad you’re here.

As a counselor, I believe that healing begins with being truly seen and heard. My approach is grounded in empathy, patience, and deep respect for every journey. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences openly and begin to find your way forward with understanding and compassion. With me, all emotions are valid- sarcasm, anger, fear, and tears are all welcome.

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief in all its forms, new motherhood, life transitions, sex and relationship issues, confidence struggles, medical trauma, and the complex realities of caregiving- some of which I have personal experience with. These experiences can bring feelings of isolation, uncertainty, and exhaustion. Together, we’ll work to untangle those emotions, build resilience, and rediscover a sense of balance and purpose.

As an independently licensed LICSW, I bring years of experience and a calm, steady presence to my work. My practice is collaborative and person-centered. No person is the same and neither are the strategies and research-based methods I use with each client. We will work together to identify your goals, explore your strengths, and create a plan that amplifies YOU. I view therapy as a partnership built on trust and the belief that you have the capability to change your life with a little bit of guidance. I often use a blend of somatic approaches, Internal Family Systems, and a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I understand that life can be busy. I offer evening and weekend appointments to make support more accessible and convenient. Don't see a time that works for you? Just ask!

Change can be challenging, and healing often unfolds in its own time. You don’t have to walk that path alone. Together, we’ll work toward greater clarity, confidence, and well-being.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I am passionate about helping adolescents and adults navigate life’s challenges with empathy, compassion, and understanding. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and valued. My areas of specialization include depression, anxiety, adjustment and life transitions, and LGBTQ+ affirming care, among other concerns. Together, we work to build resilience, develop effective coping strategies, and foster meaningful, lasting change.

You know what you want to accomplish, but getting started or staying on track can feel harder than it should. Whether you're managing ADHD, anxiety, panic attacks, or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, I'm here to help you understand what's getting in the way and build strategies that work in your everyday life. I work with adults 18+ and provide a supportive, affirming space where you can gain insight, strengthen your confidence, and make meaningful, lasting changes.

With a Master’s in Counseling Psychology and over 6 years serving the Worcester community, I’m a licensed LMHC who brings warmth, curiosity, and a good sense of humor into the therapy room. I work with youth and families using a mix of modalities, and brief solution-focused approaches, and I’m especially committed to creating an open-minded, affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals and diverse communities.

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), my goal is to provide a warm, down-to-earth space where you can show up exactly as you are.

My professional background is a bit of a mosaic—I’ve spent meaningful time working in school counseling, outdoor education, and residential treatment settings. This mix has taught me that healing and growth happen best when we look at the whole picture, blending practical life strategies with a deep appreciation for experiential and unique paths to wellness.

As a social worker, I want my clients to know that I approach our work together with empathy, respect, and without judgment. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard, valued, and supported. I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to work collaboratively with you to build on your strengths and help you reach your goals. I have a particular focus in working with Neurodiverse people and college age. I am here to listen, support, and advocate alongside you as we navigate challenges together.
