About My Clients
I work with adolescents, adults, and those in their later years who are struggling through life transitions, feeling more anxious or sad than usual, or having difficulty connecting with others. You might be questioning your path, struggling to find meaning, or simply having a hard time coping with daily stresses. I adapt my approach to your unique needs—offering coaching when you need direction and compassionate listening when you need support. Every person deserves help.
My Background and Approach
I earned my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lesley University and am a licensed LMHCA. Since 2015, I've worked extensively as a counselor for adolescents in secondary schools across three states and overseas, helping young people with goal-setting, coping strategies, identity development, grief, and relationships. I have specialized training in trauma-informed practices, suicide prevention, and solution-focused brief therapy. As a former editor and writer who still coaches college essays, I love incorporating journaling and creative expression into therapy. Having personally navigated anxiety, complicated family dynamics, and various relationships, I understand how difficult real change can be. I've been in therapy myself and know that self-improvement is hard work, which helps me approach your journey with genuine empathy and understanding.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe everyone deserves support and that seeking help is always a good idea. Having personally battled anxiety and self-compassion issues while coming from a complicated family background, I understand how isolating struggles can feel. I practice what I preach—I've been in therapy on and off for years because I believe maintaining mental health is an ongoing practice. I'm passionate about being part of people's transformation journeys and making a real impact in their lives. I try to enjoy life fully through reading, creative writing, travel, and time outdoors—activities that bring me joy and maintain my mental health. I believe every person has a story worth telling, and I'm honored to hear yours. My approach is flexible because I know every person is different in what they need from a therapist. Whether you need coaching, active listening, or creative expression, I'll adapt to meet you where you are.
