Great to meet you!

I work with adults and young adults who are ready to break patterns that aren’t working anymore. You may be self-aware and still feel stuck—overthinking, second-guessing, putting others first, or struggling to move forward. I specialize in anxiety, life transitions, and building healthier, more fulfilling relationships. My approach is warm, direct, collaborative, and practical. We’ll build insight, set meaningful goals, and turn that insight into action. I’ll offer honesty, humor, and a gentle push when old patterns are holding you back—so you can feel more confident, grounded, and capable of creating the life you want.

My approach to therapy

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, tailoring treatment to your goals. I have special interests in anxiety and major life transitions. Together, we’ll identify what you want to change and take concrete steps toward getting there.

What you can expect from me

If you’re looking for a therapist who is committed to helping you make real progress, I’d be glad to work with you! I am currently accepting telehealth clients in Massachusetts and Connecticut and offer a free brief consultation call to discuss your goals and ensure a good fit.
