Great to meet you!

You may look like you have it all together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of what to do next. Maybe you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, relationships, self-confidence, or a transition that has made life feel harder than usual. You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable to reach out. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts, I work with clients who want to better understand themselves, feel more grounded, and make meaningful changes in their lives. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you focus on what matters most to you.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy should feel personal, collaborative, and relevant to your actual life. Rather than giving you a one-size-fits-all plan, I take time to understand your experiences, strengths, relationships, and the patterns that may be getting in your way. We’ll work together to build greater self-awareness, develop practical ways to cope with difficult emotions and stress, and identify changes that feel realistic for you. My approach is supportive and nonjudgmental while still giving you space to challenge old patterns and move toward the life you want.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a chance to slow down and talk openly about what brought you to therapy and what you would like to be different. You don’t need to know exactly what you need or have everything figured out before we meet. I’ll ask questions, listen to your story, and begin understanding what you’re hoping to work on so we can create a plan together. If you’re ready to take that first step, book a free consultation and we can talk about whether we might be a good fit.
