Hello! I’m a licensed mental health counselor who truly cares about creating a safe, supportive space where people feel comfortable being themselves. I work with individuals facing trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, parent/child concerns, and many of life’s difficult transitions.

I understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming. Opening up about painful or uncomfortable parts of your life takes courage, and you don’t have to do it alone. I’ve dedicated myself to learning the skills needed to walk alongside people during these moments, at a pace that feels right for them. For me, this work is more than a career — it’s a calling.

Therapist

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.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Wellesley, MA

Searching for therapists in Wellesley starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Therapists can help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare Wellesley therapists, look for training, specialties, and therapy styles that fit your needs. A therapist’s bio can show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Wellesley is a smaller market, so the right therapist may be based nearby, in another part of Massachusetts, or available through virtual sessions. In-person wellesley therapy may work well if you prefer a local office near Wellesley Hills, Wellesley Square, or Washington Street. Virtual therapy can expand your options when appointment times, commute, or local availability matter. Before booking, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers scheduling that fits your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Wellesley can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket cost. Headway helps you compare therapists in Wellesley, MA who are accepting new patients, see estimated session costs before you book, and choose between in-person and virtual care. You can browse therapist profiles, check fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
