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.

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'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.
