As a therapist, I see it as a tremendous responsibility to serve others in their best interest while honoring their autonomy and path. I believe coming to therapy is courageous, and you should feel accepted without judgment. I work with clients from teenagers to seniors navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, emotional regulation, stress, and life transitions. I especially enjoy helping those who feel stuck or overwhelmed understand their story and patterns, while taking meaningful steps toward a more intentional life. I sit beside you, help you understand, and pair insight with practical tools and meaningful action.

Welcome! I provide individual therapy for college/ graduate students, professionals, and adults navigating anxiety, OCD, trauma, crises of meaning, and the deeper questions that arise in times of uncertainty. Many of my clients come in feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected- from themselves, others, or a clear sense of purpose. Our work together explores not just symptom relief, but what it means to live more fully and authentically. Together, we reconnect with your values, develop practical skills for navigating life's challenges, and explore the deeper patterns and past experiences that may be shaping your present.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Worcester

Finding therapists in Worcester starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which specialties match your needs. People often search for therapy in Worcester for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or life transitions. As you compare Worcester therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and approach align with what you want to work on. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.

Worcester has a range of therapy options across areas like Main South, Tatnuck, the Canal District, and nearby communities. You may prefer an office that fits your commute, or a virtual appointment that works better with your schedule. When narrowing your search, review appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading each therapist’s profile before booking can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and experience with the concerns you want to discuss.

Therapy in Worcester can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get a clearer view of what you may pay. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse therapists in Worcester, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
