I am a licensed mental health counselor with experience working with adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, substance use, and trauma/PTSD. I take an empathic and integrative approach to therapy, meeting you where you are at, addressing the goals that you set for yourself, and selecting therapeutic strategies based on your needs. I'm familiar with cognitive/behavioral interventions, motivational interviewing, humanistic and existential approaches, psychodynamic theories, and harm reduction for substance use. Theories aside, I believe that acceptance, love and courage heal.
In addition to working as a psychotherapist, I am a full-time researcher and educator at Boston Medical Center's Grayken Center for Addiction Training and Technical Assistance and have a weekend job as a florist.
I offer services online. My availability is generally in the early evenings although I can occasionally make exceptions. If you think we might be a good fit, I invite you to reach out to chat!
