Great to meet you!

I am a licensed mental health counselor specializing in mood, substance, and trauma disorders and stress. My approach is strengths-based and collaborative, and I value your feedback and input. I offer individual therapy sessions via telehealth, with afternoon, evening, and weekend appointments available. I am licensed in Massachusetts and Connecticut and work with adults.

My approach to therapy

I listen and I (truly) don't judge! I practice from a person-centered holistic worldview and value the courage it takes to open up to another human being. I integrate multiple therapeutic techniques individualized to your needs delivered in a supportive, sometimes irreverent, always compassionate manner. In my career I have learned about the resilience, strength, and hope every individual is capable of from the clients I have been honored to support in transforming their lives. I strive to create a warm, respectful environment where you feel seen, heard, and safe. I look forward to meeting you!

What you can expect from me

In my initial meetings with clients, I strive to create a warm, respectful environment where you feel seen, heard, and most importantly, safe. I will answer any questions about therapy and my training, work to understand your wants and needs for therapy, and determine how we can best work together on achieving your goals.
