Whether you're in the middle of something difficult or just know that something needs to change, this is a good place to start. You deserve a space where you feel truly understood, and that's exactly what therapy here is designed to offer.

I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, substance use, problem gambling, and those who simply feel stuck or uncertain about their next step. Together, we'll work to uncover what's been holding you back and build toward the life you're looking for.

With a background in athletics and mental performance, I bring a unique perspective to this work, especially for those navigating pressure, confidence, identity, and personal growth.

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker | Certified Dementia Practitioner

Boston, MA | In-Person & Telehealth Sessions

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) with more than two decades of clinical experience helping adults navigate complex emotional, relational, and medical challenges. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Boston College and have dedicated my career to providing thoughtful, evidence-based care rooted in authenticity, compassion, and the belief that genuine change is possible at every stage of life.

My areas of specialization include anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, medical conditions, LGBTQ+ identity and relationships, grief and loss, end-of-life issues, and advanced care planning. My integrative approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and a Humanistic framework. I believe that movement is medicine, and that healing emerges through the mind–body connection — where awareness, purpose, and action intersect.

As a gay clinician, I am deeply committed to creating an affirming, inclusive space where clients can explore identity, relationships, and resilience with honesty and respect. I strive to help each person cultivate balance, clarity, and a renewed sense of possibility in their lives.

I do not perform disability work.

I’ve been in practice for over 13 years since completing my postgraduate training at Harvard and University of California affiliated programs. I am board certified in adult, child, and adolescent psychiatry.

I’m open minded, non judgemental, and most of all, want to help. My private practice is just getting started, so I am scheduling patients on an immediate basis.
