Great to meet you!

Hello ! I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) providing psychotherapy for adults in Massachusetts. I work with people navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and periods of feeling stuck or overwhelmed. My style is warm, thoughtful, and direct, and I try to create a space that feels calm, collaborative, and emotionally honest.

My approach to therapy

My approach is relational, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed. I help clients understand the deeper patterns shaping their emotions, relationships, and sense of self, while also focusing on meaningful change in everyday life. Therapy with me is collaborative and conversational, with honest reflection, curiosity, and practical support.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a chance for us to understand what is bringing you to therapy and what you hope may change. I’ll ask about your current concerns, important relationships, and personal history, but there is no pressure to share everything immediately. Most clients leave the first session feeling clearer, more grounded, and understood.
