I have over 30 years of experience as a therapist working with clients who struggle with trauma, life transitions, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, relationship issues, and grief and loss. As an interpersonal and relational therapist, I view the relationship between client and therapist as integral in gaining a deep understanding of clients’ emotional experiences. By exploring important insights, this approach establishes a healing connection and allows the client to break repetitive, intergenerational patterns. I work to create an environment which helps to foster agency as well as the ability to work towards change.

I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Massachusetts. I graduated from Framingham State University in 2015, with a MA in Counseling Psychology. I have 5 years of experience facilitating individual and group therapy. I am client-centered in my approach. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or some other issue, we can work together to help you cope with those issues more effectively.

Focusing on deeper issues helps to facilitate lasting positive change.

Taking new clients .Life can bring us to a fork in the road where we can feel stuck without direction.

Therapy should be a space where you feel you can be yourself, even during some of the lowest points in life. My approach to therapy is to provide guidance, support, feedback in safe space where you feel heard and validated. I have nearly 10 years of experience working in the mental health field in both outpatient and crisis services, with people of all ages and severity of mental health symptoms. My goal is to help you develop the skills needed to work through the difficult times we experience when navigating life challenges.

A guiding principle in my work is the belief that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance. Neuroscientific literature supports the curative powers of deep empathic attunement (limbic resonance) and the brain/body's ability to heal. As such, in addition to attending to you with the same level of respectful presence that I would expect in a therapist, I use both cognitive/emotional and body/mind tools to assist you in your healing. I am certified in both Safe and Sound Protocol ( SSP) as well as a certified +Heart Math provider. I think you will find me warm, genuine, empathic, and knowledgeable.

Welcome! My passion is working with children and teens. I provide a fun, welcoming, and safe space where children and teens can get the support and help they need.

I offer psychotherapy to adults of all ages, children and teens. My style is collaborative and interactive and is part of creating a safe, empathic relationship that is the foundation for open communication and exploration of what is most relevant to each client. My approach is relational, trauma informed, and culturally and socially attuned, but draws on a variety of therapeutic models. I approach the therapeutic process with openness and flexibility to meet the current and changing needs of each individual. I believe that therapy can be transformative and should always play an active role in appreciable growth and change.

My treatment will consist of compassion, active-listening and support, to help you meet your personal and treatment goals.

With over 20 years in the field of psychotherapy, I bring a breadth and depth of experience to therapy sessions and a commitment to assisting people in their move towards change. I work with individual adults and couples and a broad range of presenting issues.
