About My Clients
My clients are often struggling to find a sense of belonging amidst relationship challenges, sexual dysfunction, gender/sexual/relationship identity formation, and addiction (of all kinds). My clients and their partners often have specific goals in mind, such as mending their relationship, healing from past relational wounds, increasing sexual satisfaction, or removing barriers to intimacy.
My Background and Approach
In practice, I aim to create a secure and non-judgmental therapeutic environment where clients are free to express their entire self, including the parts that feel contradictory, dishonorable, painful, or are difficult to name. I primarily utilize humanistic/person-centered counseling theories in session, which over the years have taught me that consistent warmth, compassion, and curiosity are essential to fostering meaningful change. I received my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling and Behavioral Medicine at Boston University. I am currently pursuing LMHC licensure in the state of Massachusetts. In order to fulfill my licensure requirements and meet the needs of my clients, I attend weekly supervision sessions with Dr. Lee Kinsey, PhD, LMHC. Supervision and consultation help me stay up-to-date on best practices, encourage introspection, and ultimately support the needs of all my clients.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that meaningful change occurs when we feel safe to examine our inner world and find the confidence to change our stories. I also understand that in order to create this safety, a therapist needs to be non-judgmental, genuine, and must not put the burden of education on their clients. I understand how uniquely challenging issues surrounding addiction, intimacy, sex, and relationships are. If you are searching for a space to speak without judgement and want to explore new ways of being, I encourage you to reach out to see if I am the right counselor for you. I offer free 15 minute phone consultations - let's connect and see how I can best support you.
