Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and psychotherapist with over a decade of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in working with adults. I graduated from the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis and interned at Essex County Hospital Center with adults living with borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.

My approach to therapy

I listen with respect and make space for your story. We build a treatment plan together and keep therapy straightforward, using cognitive-behavioral and psychoanalytic approaches to help you understand how thoughts and unconscious patterns shape feelings and actions.

What you can expect from me

I’m deeply passionate about this work because I’ve seen how meaningful therapy can be when you feel both supported and empowered. My aim is to help you show up fully in your work, become a steady person others can count on, and move forward with confidence and purpose.
