Many of my clients come to me feeling like something is holding them back. Stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, struggling to communicate in ways that feel authentic, or searching for healthier ways to cope with life's challenges. They often describe a sense that their personal growth has stalled, even when they can't quite put their finger on why.
I help women navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, body image concerns, emotional eating, addiction recovery, and perimenopause/menopause. Together, we'll explore what may be keeping you stuck while building practical tools, resilience, and self-compassion to create meaningful, lasting change.
Over the years, I have worked with folks of all ages and from all walks of life. What they all have in common is the desire to feel connected to others and feel that life is enriching, not depleting. If you are feeling depleted, for any number of reasons, I am here to support you and help you find what you need to be connected and enriched.
I cannot move mountains for you, but I can help you climb. Facing fears, healing from loss, finding meaning and joy - these are the inevitable tasks of life. Therapy may be your first step or your last resort. Often people avoid it all together because they believe their pain is too great, worry they will be judged or that their situation is too complicated. Some people believe they should solve problems on their own or only with family and friends. However, while family and friends may want the best for us, they often come with opinions or past hurts. Sometimes it helps to have a safe space outside your daily experience.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Boston
Finding the right addiction therapist in Boston starts with understanding the type of support you're looking for. Addiction and substance use concerns vary widely — from alcohol or drug use to behavioral patterns — and different providers bring different areas of expertise. Some therapists focus on approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or motivational interviewing, while others specialize in co-occurring conditions like anxiety or depression alongside substance use. A provider's bio can help you understand their background and decide if their approach matches what you need.
Boston is home to a large number of licensed mental health providers, but narrowing your options can still feel overwhelming. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who offers virtual sessions, someone located in a specific neighborhood like Back Bay or Cambridge, or a therapist with experience in a particular type of addiction. Reading detailed provider profiles and booking a free phone consultation can help you feel confident before committing to ongoing care.
Addiction counseling in Boston can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an addiction therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
