Therapists in Back Bay, Boston, MA
I respect your decision to enter therapy. Clients often come to me with a sense that something is off and they would like things to be better. Sometimes a recent life change or event is more than a person wants to handle on their own or there is something to work through in a relationship.

Hello there! I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts.
I specialize in working with individuals who are perfectionists, people in high-stress careers or students in difficult academic settings. I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, feel disconnected to themselves and others, and out of touch with purpose and meaning. With a strengths-based approach and a blend of expertise, curiosity, humor, and empathy, I support clients in increasing their confidence, maximizing joy, supporting well being and reducing anxiety. Therapy can help ease the fear of change and be a catalyst to embrace new possibilities!

I believe a strong alliance and the ability to honestly talk about the experience of working together is vital to this work, for as we are wounded in relationships, we heal in relationships. I aim to create a safe space in which you feel comfortable taking risks and sharing anything you'd like - no subject is off limits - and I seek to support you beyond symptom management to facilitate transformation on a soul level. We do this by working together to befriend and learn from the shadowy aspects of the Self and by developing a dialogue between the conscious and unconscious to support individuation, the process of becoming oneself.
