I’ve been working with women, children and families for over 15 years in individual counseling, group settings, and program development. My expertise lies in helping people understand their own emotional experience, to use words not violence, to cope, to reduce impulsive and compulsive behavior, to advocate for themselves.
I believe to live fully, we must feel. Intensely. Viscerally. Freely. To feel pride and pain, joy and frustration. To taste the freedoms of life, as well as its restraints. To reconcile thoughts, actions and emotions that are often at odds. To square all of this with culture, beliefs, and history. To live fully is when a sense of equity, equality and balance is awakened. To live fully is to gain perspective and know that you can weather all of it, and not be overcome by these complexities, but learn to integrate them, for a full life.
I've specialized in working with adolescents and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles for fifteen years. Whether you're dealing with intense emotions, overthinking everything, shutting down, or feeling stuck in patterns you can’t quite break, therapy can be a space to finally make sense of it.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Massachusetts starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, or something else, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Massachusetts-licensed therapists include LMHCs, LICSWs, LMFTs, and psychologists who provide talk therapy, while psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can prescribe and manage medication.
With thousands of providers across the state — from Boston and Cambridge to Worcester, Springfield, and Cape Cod — narrowing your options can take time. Consider what matters most: a provider's specialty, whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions, and their availability. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.
Therapy in Massachusetts can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits your needs and your budget.
