My work centers on women’s wellness, with a focus on supporting women navigating ADHD, ASD, chronic stress, anxiety, nervous system dysregulation, and life transitions.

As a therapist rooted in Buddhist principles, my approach respects the innate wisdom each individual possesses. I believe clients are their own best experts in healing, and my role is to support them in uncovering their truths and navigating their journeys toward healing and self-discovery.
I hold a Master's in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University, which has enriched my understanding and practice of therapeutic techniques. I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Within this sanctuary, we work collaboratively to shift perspectives, fostering greater happiness and joy.
Ultimately, my deepest aspiration as a therapist is to facilitate a healing environment where individuals feel seen, heard, and valued.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in New Bedford, MA
Searching for therapists in New Bedford starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist is trained for it. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare New Bedford therapists, review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and experience. A therapist who works with your specific concern, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy, may be a stronger fit for what you want to address.
New Bedford is a smaller city, so local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger Massachusetts markets. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Massachusetts. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand communication style, session structure, and what to expect before you book.
Therapy in New Bedford can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway helps you find therapists in New Bedford, MA who match your needs and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details — so you can review bios, compare availability, confirm coverage for your specific plan, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
