I am married and a father of two young adult sons. I love my work and hold it as an important value in my life. My focus for two decades plus has been on relationships.
I believe therapy works best when there is a strong connection between therapist and client. My style is warm, genuine, and direct. I'll offer compassion and support, but I'll also help you recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
As a trauma-informed therapist and EMDR specialist, I create a space where you can be yourself without judgment. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable with me quickly because I show up as a real person—not just a therapist.
I believe healing happens through both insight and action. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and empowered to create meaningful change in your life.
I am an HBCU educated single mother of twins who is passionate about the work I do. I approach our sessions as your time to work through what you are ready to tackle in your life. I will follow your lead, while gently challenging you when necessary in order to help you reach the goals you have set for yourself. If you would like a faith-based approach, I can offer that as well.
Four decades. That's how long I've been doing this work — and I mean that not as a resume line, but as a promise. Over forty years of sitting with people through the things that crack a life open: the identity shifts that come with midlife, the isolation that quietly builds, the grief of a body that's changed, the exhaustion of caregiving for someone else while your own needs go unmet. I bring deep expertise in depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and the complex emotional terrain that emerges as life evolves through its stages. I specialize in working with adults — particularly women, caregivers, and individuals facing chronic health challenges or major life transformations — who are navigating chapters of life that often go unacknowledged and underserved. If you've ever felt like the world was moving too fast while you were standing still, wondering who you are now and what comes next — this is the practice that was built for you.
I am a seasoned clinician with over 25 years’ experience working with adults and older adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, family/relationship issues, grief, loss, career fatigue and other life stressors. I think of therapy as a partnership between client and therapist. I especially enjoy working with individuals and couples that feel “stuck,” are in crisis, or who are going through periods of difficult life transition. Through active listening and practical solution focused guidance, I lead clients on a path towards growth, change, and greater self-acceptance.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding couples therapists in Lexington starts with identifying what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, or parenting disagreements. If you are searching for a therapist for relationship problems, review each therapist’s listed specialties and training. Many couples look for licensed marriage family therapists, licensed mental health counselors, or therapists trained in approaches such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy.
In a smaller city like Lexington, the number of nearby couples therapists may be more limited than in Boston or other larger areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you choose a therapist licensed in Massachusetts. Since couples therapy needs to work for both partners, compare appointment availability, session structure, and whether the therapist offers a brief phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also show how each person describes their communication style, approach to family and marriage counseling, and experience with relationship counselling.
Therapy in Lexington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can search for couples therapists who accept your plan, review detailed profiles, and book directly when you are ready. This makes it easier to find care that fits your needs, schedule, and coverage.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
