Welcome! I am glad that you are here.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My goal is to support you to better understand yourself, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW/LICSW) in CT and MA with more than 15 years of experience treating children, adolescents, adults, and families as they navigate life’s challenges. I have completed advanced studies in trauma and have extensive experience working with anxiety and mood disorders, as well. I have had the honor of working in multiple settings with a range of people and communities and am so grateful for each opportunity I have had to support and partner with someone towards their goals and through their struggles.

My practice is fully virtual, allowing clients to access therapy from the comfort and privacy of their chosen environment.

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 Massachusetts

Searching for therapists in Massachusetts starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Across the state, options can vary between urban areas, suburban communities, and more rural regions, so it helps to focus your search early. You may want a therapist who works with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, therapeutic approach, and bio to see whether their training and style align with what you want from care.

Practical fit matters, too. If you live near Boston, Worcester, or Springfield, you may have more in-person options nearby, while virtual therapy can expand your choices across Massachusetts. Consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking. Reading profiles can also help you understand how a therapist structures sessions, communicates, and describes their approach to care.

The cost of therapy in Massachusetts can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, may take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Browse therapists in Massachusetts, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
