I have my master’s degree from Lesley University in Mental Health Counseling and Expressive Arts Therapy. I am certified as a mindfulness teacher, mediator, and yoga teacher. The mind-body connection is an important aspect of the approach I take with clients. I am also trained to provide Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Additionally, I’m a facilitator of Gender Equity and Reconciliation, so it informs my work with couples and relationship challenges. I specialize in working with adult individual clients and couples who experience anxiety, depression, adult and childhood trauma, relationship conflict/transitions, and mid-life transitions.
Hello and welcome to therapy. You are one step closer on your journey to achieving your goals, passions, and intentions. You and I will develop a therapeutic relationship as you work through trauma, anxiety, depression, and other areas that you would like growth in. You will utilize the strengths that you already have, and keep expanding on those. It is my job to create a safe, open, and person-centered environment. I look forward to working with you on your healing journey! Keep going and growing.
Hello!
I proudly bring lived experience to the table, so I know a different life than comes in textbooks. It increases my odds of understanding you better and of being able to develop unique strategies for you in a shorter amount of time. I've wanted to work in mental health since I was a child, and bring that enthusiasm to my work. Hope to see you soon.
I am an LICSW Clinical Social Worker with experience in helping those with depression, ADHD, anxiety, and trauma. I incorporate ACT, CBT, and DBT modalities into my work and am a trained EMDR therapist.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Arlington, MA
Searching for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Arlington starts with finding identity-affirming care. An affirming therapist may support concerns related to identity, coming out, gender exploration, relationship stress, anxiety, depression, or family dynamics. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, WPATH training, or direct experience with LGBTQIA+ communities. These details can help you find a therapist whose training, approach, and listed specialties match what you want from care.
In a smaller city like Arlington, local options for affirming care may be more limited than in larger nearby areas. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still helping you find a therapist who fits your schedule, preferences, and insurance plan. You can also narrow your search by availability, therapeutic approach, therapist identity, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you see how each therapist describes their communication style, experience with LGBTQIA+ populations, and approach to care.
Therapy in Arlington can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you compare LGBTQIA+ therapists who are accepting new patients, review bios, check availability, and see estimated session costs before you book. That makes it easier to find someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to meet.
