About My Clients

Does it feel like your brain is stuck on an endless loop of worry and anxiety? Is getting through the day feeling almost impossible? You're just trying to cope but feel like nothing works. Trauma, complicated relationships, and unhealthy patterns are becoming too burdensome. I see you. And I'm here to provide a space for you to unpack what is weighing you down and find a healthy path forward.

My Background and Approach

As a therapist, my lifelong passion for helping others drives me. With a master's in social work from Boston University and a bachelor's in psychology from Southern New Hampshire University, I bring a diverse skill set to my practice. From internships in inpatient facilities to counseling in outpatient clinics, my journey has been varied. Currently, I balance my role as a school-based therapist for a community mental health organization with running my private practice. I've received training in modalities such as EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavioral therapy. These tools allow me to tailor my approach to each client's needs. In my practice, I prioritize creating a collaborative and empowering environment where clients feel heard and supported as we work towards healing and growth.
