LGBT therapists in Stoughton, MA

I do my best work with adolescents and adults. My experience spans over 30 years. I focus on each person's strengths and provide support by bolstering their resilience and courage. Together we move toward change and greater health.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with experience in both outpatient and inpatient settings, providing comprehensive mental health care across diverse populations. My background includes extensive work in behavioral health emergency settings, partial hospitalizations, IOP, recovery care, community psychiatric care. I also have experience supporting dually diagnosed patients with co-occurring medical conditions, giving me a broad perspective on the complex interplay between mental and physical health.

I earned my PMHNP degree from Post University and hold PMHNP licensure in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to evidence-based care, while continuously seeking opportunities for professional development and growth in the mental health field.

Welcome! I am a compassionate therapist dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families navigating life's most painful or complex challenges. My practice focuses heavily on helping people heal from trauma, manage stress and anxiety, work through depression, and navigate difficult relationship or family dynamics. I have a deep passion for supporting women's unique experiences—including maternal, pregnancy, and postpartum mental health—as well as helping individuals explore identity, cope with chronic health conditions, and process grief or life transitions. No matter who you are or what background you come from, my goal is to provide an inclusive, open-minded space where you feel genuinely seen, respected, and heard.

I have been working with teens and young adults for over 20yrs, mostly in group homes. I specifically work with people who have experienced trauma and lived in foster care. I think it is important for you to have choice and control of your life, and that many systems and therapy have often not been helpful. I want to try something different.

I have over twenty years of experience with anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship issues and parenting, among other issues. In particular, I have worked with loneliness, burnout, social anxiety, and self esteem.

My education is from Binghamton University, Boston College, and Northeastern University. Fully licensed in NY and MA, I have additional specialized training in trauma informed care, DBT, grief, and anxiety.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with years of experience working with a variety of clients, including both children and adults. I have experience supporting individuals with depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, functional neurological disorder, dissociative identity disorder, bipolar disorder, psychosis, personality disorders, trauma, and more.

I've been doing this work for 25 years — which means I've sat with a lot of people in a lot of different kinds of pain, and I've watched most of them find their way through it. I work with adolescents, adults, and families dealing with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ identity, cultural identity, and the messy overlaps between all of those things. I'm warm, direct, and probably a little funnier than you'd expect from a therapist. That's intentional. Some of the hardest healing I've witnessed happened in moments that also had some lightness in them. I'm LGBTQ+ affirming, work with couples and families in addition to individuals, and I accept Aetna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and Cigna through Headway — plus several additional insurers on Psychology Today.
