About My Clients
I enjoy working with adults who are curious about themselves and want to understand why they keep finding themselves in the same situations. Many have tried therapy before and learned ways to cope, but still feel stuck in familiar patterns. I also have extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ and questioning adults, as well as people exploring or practicing polyamory and kink, who want space to explore themselves, their relationships, and their identities.
My Background and Approach
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts and a doctoral candidate at the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis. My clinical approach is rooted in modern psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I believe that understanding someone requires more than identifying symptoms or teaching strategies for managing them. In our work together, I'll try to understand how you experience yourself, other people, and the world around you. We'll pay attention to the patterns that emerge in your relationships and your life, including patterns that may be difficult to see from the inside. I don't use a predetermined program or assume that the same approach will work for everyone. Therapy is a conversation, and we'll begin with whatever feels important to you. Over time, we'll see what emerges and try to understand it together. My goal is to create space to think openly about the questions, conflicts, and experiences that matter to you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I'm a queer and transgender therapist, and my own experiences have shaped the way I think about identity, belonging, and the importance of having spaces where people can be fully themselves. I care deeply about working with LGBTQ+ and questioning people, as well as people whose relationships, identities, or desires may not fit neatly into a pre-labeled box or go against societal norms. I believe that people deserve to be approached with curiosity rather than judgment. That doesn't mean therapy is only about affirmation or telling someone that everything someone does makes sense. Sometimes therapy involves asking difficult questions, sitting with conflict, and looking honestly at parts of ourselves that we might rather avoid. But I don't believe those conversations require shame. I value openness, complexity, and the freedom to think. I want therapy to be a place where people can explore themselves and their lives without being told who they are or how they should live.
