Life can bring storms, transitions, and moments when the way forward feels uncertain. You may feel weighed down by old wounds, or by the pressure of always being the one others rely on. Perhaps you long for a place to pause, feel supported, and rediscover your own strength. Therapy can offer a way through—helping you move toward greater clarity, balance, and connection.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts with a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and over 15 years of experience. Clients often describe me as compassionate, validating, and direct. My approach blends deep emotional work with practical solutions, drawing from EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and somatic practices. I specialize in working with adults navigating trauma, caregiving roles, and major life changes.

I prioritize creating a supportive environment where you can explore life transitions, shift unhelpful coping patterns, and build practical tools for healing and long-term change. I integrate:

• Trauma-Focused Therapy to help process and heal from past wounds
• Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore and understand different parts of yourself
• EMDR to work through distressing memories and support emotional regulation
• Somatic Practices to tune into your body’s responses to stress and trauma
• Psychodynamic Techniques to gain insight into how past experiences shape present behaviors
• Directness and Vulnerability to foster an open, honest, and nonjudgmental space

In our sessions, you can expect to gain deeper insight into the challenges you're facing. Together, we will explore and uncover old coping mechanisms that no longer serve you, while developing new, healthier strategies for navigating life. You'll learn effective communication techniques, ways to set and maintain healthy boundaries, and strategies for practicing self-care. Ultimately, you’ll build emotional resilience and a greater understanding of yourself, empowering you to make lasting, positive changes in your life. Above all, you can expect to feel heard, supported, and equipped with the tools to heal, grow, and move forward with confidence. I offer online therapy sessions tailored to your needs and a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
