I work compassionately with generally high-functioning adults who may be experiencing a range of potential symptoms that diminish their mental and/or physical health and well-being. These may include anxiety, perfectionism, and performance challenges; self-esteem and self-worth; body image and disordered eating; managing chronic disease; grief and loss; depression; relationship challenges with friends, partners, and family members; and life and career transitions that may include finding meaning in life. I often work with people who simply find life is easier when they have a non-judgmental connection outside of their usual circles.
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or life experiences that have left them feeling disconnected from themselves or uncertain about how to move forward. I believe that healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and accepted. I am passionate about helping clients recognize their strengths, reconnect with their authentic selves, and build lives that feel more grounded, meaningful, and aligned with who they are.
I earned my Master's degree from Springfield College in 2007 and bring nearly two decades of clinical experience across a wide range of settings, including outpatient clinics, in-home therapy, residential treatment, juvenile justice programs, school-based services, and as a school adjustment counselor. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how trauma, relationships, and life experiences shape emotional well-being across the lifespan. While my background includes extensive work with children, adolescents, and families, my practice is primarily focused on supporting teens and adults who are navigating life's challenges. I am committed to providing culturally responsive, affirming care that honors each person's unique identity and lived experience.
Greetings,
I have been for therapist for 20 years in the Eastern Mass area. If you made far, I can assist you towards the next chapter in your journey.
I do Individual, Couples, Family, and Group Therapy. I currently facilitate a Bereavement Group which meets at my Brookline office every Saturday from 2-4pm. I also run groups for substance abuse, depression and anxiety. In addition, I have a lot of experience counseling children of all ages. I am a firm believer in strength-based psychotherapy.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Newton, MA
Searching for therapists in Newton starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. You may be looking for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare Newton therapists, look for specialties and approaches that connect to your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or support for young adults. A therapist’s profile can help you understand their focus areas, communication style, and what sessions may be like.
Newton has local therapy options, but availability can vary by schedule, neighborhood, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual care. If nearby appointments are limited, virtual therapy can expand your options across Massachusetts while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how their bio describes their approach. These details can help you choose a therapist who fits your schedule, preferences, and care goals.
Therapy in Newton can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare providers who are accepting new patients. You can confirm coverage for your specific plan and location on Headway before booking. You can browse profiles, review fit, 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.
