About My Clients

Handel Behavioral Health is for anyone seeking a therapist who "gets it." We serve a diverse community, from UMass and Smith College students navigating transitions to busy professionals and parents managing anxiety, ADHD, or depression. We are a safe haven for LGBTQ+ and gender-affirming care, specializing in trauma recovery via EMDR and DBT. Whether you need talk therapy or medication management, we provide a coordinated, down-to-earth space to help you thrive.

My Background and Approach

Expert clinicians in trauma, anxiety & life transitions, turning your struggles into strengths through evidence-based, compassionate care.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

At Handel Behavioral Health, we believe healing happens when you feel truly seen. We're passionate advocates for mental health equity, serving all individuals regardless of background or identity. We stand firmly with the LGBTQ+ community, offering affirming care where you are celebrated, not just tolerated. We believe Black lives matter and provide culturally sensitive, anti-racist therapy. Our clinicians volunteer in crisis support and suicide prevention because mental health care shouldn't stop at the office door. We also understand the healing power of animals and support local shelters that bring comfort to people and pets alike. Above all, we believe every person deserves compassionate, judgment-free support. When you walk through our doors, or log on to a session, you'll find a team that honors your whole story. We're not just your providers. We're your partners in healing.
