Great to meet you!

I am licensed in Massachusetts with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, parenting issues, & coping with life changes. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change.

My approach to therapy

My counseling style is versatile. For the most part I can be laid back but also can assert structure when needed. The goal is to offer you a safe space where you can be open and honest without fear or judgement.I do realize that therapy can be intimidating due to fear of judgement or fear of the unknown, but therapy should not be stressful. Im comfortable meeting you where you are.
