About My Clients
I work with women and young women ages 14+ who look capable on the outside and spend a lot of time questioning themselves internally. You may replay conversations, second-guess decisions, get stuck on intrusive thoughts, or feel responsible for figuring everything out before you can relax. Many of my clients are thoughtful and self-aware. Insight is rarely the issue. Your thoughts have simply started to feel urgent, convincing, and tied to how you see yourself.
My Background and Approach
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing virtual therapy throughout Massachusetts. I earned my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Merrimack College and work primarily with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, overthinking, self-doubt, and women’s mental health. My approach is warm, collaborative, and conversational. I pull from ACT, CBT, attachment-based, compassion-focused, mindfulness, narrative, relational, and somatic approaches depending on what you need. We may look at the patterns keeping you stuck, where they came from, and how they show up in your actual life. I care about insight, and I also want therapy to create changes you can feel outside of session. My work focuses on helping you change your relationship with your thoughts, tolerate uncertainty, quiet the inner critic, and trust yourself more. I do not provide specialized ERP treatment for OCD. If ERP appears to be the right fit, I’m happy to help you find an appropriate provider.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe therapy is a human-to-human experience, and finding the right fit matters. You should feel safe, understood, and comfortable enough to be honest, including about the thoughts you feel ashamed to say out loud. I believe people make sense in context. Anxiety, overthinking, and self-criticism often developed for a reason. We can understand what those patterns have been trying to do for you while also noticing the ways they may be getting in your way now. I believe a thought can be present without carrying the full weight of your identity. You can care about how you affect people and still release the pressure to analyze every interaction. You can make thoughtful choices without feeling completely certain. You can learn to trust yourself without expecting yourself to get everything right. Therapy can be warm, conversational, direct, and meaningful at the same time. I’ll show up as a person, meet you with curiosity, and make room for humor when it belongs in the room.
