About My Clients

I work with adults (18+) navigating a wide range of psychological concerns such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or relationship difficulties. My approach is well-suited for clients who are seeking depth, meaning-making, and a therapeutic relationship that is clearly boundaried and genuinely human. Clients often share that they easily feel safe with me, appreciate my knowledge, and find that our work helps them gain understanding they were unable to reach in previous therapy experiences.

My Background and Approach

I currently offer therapy via secure telehealth for clients located in Massachusetts. My work is informed by an extensive study of psychology, personality theory, and philosophy, which brings thoughtfulness and structure to the therapy process. At the same time, the heart of my approach is the therapeutic relationship itself— creating a space where clients feel listened to, understood, and supported. Our work together also may include identifying and shifting self-limiting patterns, engaging in corrective relational experiences to address past neglect or trauma, exploring life, career, or relationship challenges, and reflecting on existential questions of self-identity and meaning. I am also trained in EMDR therapy, which can help accelerate insight and healing if past traumatic experiences are a part of what is contributing to present-day difficulties.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in the inherent worth of every human being. To that effect, for me the core of psychotherapy work is based upon utmost respect for the client, their experience, and what they want out of therapy. While I respect diagnosis, psychological theories, and working with people to resolve what specifically made them come into therapy, my work focuses first on the person rather than a label. I also have extensively invested in my own personal psychotherapy so that I am able to be more present and self aware for my clients. If what I wrote above has resonated, you are very welcome to reach out to me via email or phone so we can set up a free 20-minute consult to discuss next steps and if we are the right fit. I also invite you to look through my website linked under "INFO" on my profile page (found below).
