Great to meet you!

I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 4 years of experience supporting individuals as they navigate life’s most difficult challenges. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds who are seeking healing, clarity, and renewed connection with themselves. I am especially passionate about helping clients process painful experiences, build self-compassion, and rediscover their inner strengths.

My approach to therapy

I earned my master’s degree in counseling from Salem State University. My approach is rooted in narrative therapy, helping clients explore the stories they carry and reshape them into ones grounded in empowerment and growth. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to healing, and I create a warm, welcoming environment.

What you can expect from me

If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy, you don’t have to carry everything alone. I provide a compassionate space where you can share your story, feel heard, and begin lightening the weight you’ve been holding. When you’re ready, I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing.
