Hello! I am a therapist with a lot of varied experience as well as an enthusiasm to help you with whatever it is you may be going through in your life, at whatever pace you feel works for you. I started my career in the mental health field at the suicide hotline before moving on to work inpatient at McLean Hospital, where I worked with depressed, anxious, and suicidal adults. Now, as an outpatient therapist, I see clients age 14+ of any gender identity, with my ideal client being someone who is motivated to identify problems in their lives and to work together to find solutions that can empower them. I have the most extensive experience working with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, and trauma.

My counseling approach is humanistic above all else, with further focuses on CBT work as well as existential and solution-focused therapy approaches. Fostering a warm and friendly environment comes first for me, setting us up for success in being direct in collaboratively identifying potential issues and negative patterns in your life.

Our first session together will be the intake, dedicated to getting to know each other and me learning as much about what you're going through as possible, while also prioritizing your comfort and taking things at whatever pace feels best for you. I genuinely care about you and what you're going through and would be extremely humbled and appreciative for you to share your struggles with me. Opening up and letting yourself be vulnerable to anybody, let alone a stranger, can be extremely intimidating. I can guarantee that you will be treated with compassion and patience through every step of this difficult process as we work together to allow you to become your best self, the self that you deserve to be.
