Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


I am a down-to-earth, approachable therapist with over a decade of experience supporting teenagers, young adults, and their families. Many clients arrive hesitant about therapy but quickly find a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where they can talk about anything. I strive to be responsive to each person’s life experiences, including gender- and race-based toxic stress and trauma. I completed my training at Boston University and spent several years working with a multidisciplinary team at a safety-net hospital.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, lost, or like you're carrying the weight of your struggles completely alone — you're not. And you don't have to be.

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner serving Massachusetts via telehealth, I specialize in anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. But more than treating symptoms, I'm focused on understanding you — the whole person behind them. My approach is holistic and collaborative, which means we work together to figure out what wellness actually looks like for your life, not just on paper.

In a world where there is endless advice, online "experts" and seemingly easy fixes, it can be challenging to hit a roadblock and find that nothing feels quite right. Whether it is depression, anxiety, or just a general sense that something is “off”, it keeps you stuck. And you just can't figure out how to fix it. While I have no answers, I offer a place to pause, reflect, and talk about what’s been holding you back. And most importantly, what you want to happen next.

Therapist

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.
