Therapists in Milton Village, MA

Hello and welcome! That you’re here means you’ve taken a first step towards healing, and I hope to offer guidance, support, and techniques to help you navigate your journey. Offering a warm, gentle therapeutic relationship, I am here to be of service to your personal growth. Through our work together, we will explore your strengths, passions and goals, and help you develop insight into the patterns holding you back from fully stepping into your best version of yourself and the life you want. I specialize in trauma-informed care, burnout and compassion fatigue, life transitions, and mindfulness to support general wellbeing.

Sometimes in life we can feel lost and unsure of where to go for help, or who to trust. I firmly believe that everyone has the ability to heal; all that’s needed is a helping hand to guide you through those first steps. I am so happy and proud to provide a safe place to encourage people to open up and feel at peace.

I am an experienced child and adolescent therapist who takes a strengths-based approach to working with clients. I believe therapy should be a space where you or your child can express yourself and know that you’ll be heard.

Specialties include diagnoses of depression, anxiety, PTSD and ADHD. Additionally, I have experience working with children struggling with school avoidance, behavioral concerns, safe decision making and overall social emotional wellbeing.

As a service provider for over 20 years, while having the pleasure of working with diverse populations, I have learned many valuable lessons are learned. As a service provider, more than the intent of creating positive change in the lives of those served may be needed. As a QTBIPOC service recipient and clinician, I understand the importance of having access to safe and affirming service spaces. Services that actively understand the power behind intersectionality. If services are inequitable for some, they fail all of us. Together we are strong.

You feel trapped in thinking again and again about the same issue? You feel as you can’t take a breath, lost your sleep and criticize everything you do? Does this all make you feel as you are not good enough; you should please others to be liked; you are failing as a partner, parent or a friend? Would you like to create space for yourself where you can discover your unique life journey? Collaboratively, we can create a safe space to help you feel your feelings; build awareness; understand relationship patterns; and develop strategies to cope at home, work and in society.

Currently accepting new clients! As a therapist, I believe that every individual has the potential to heal, grow, and thrive.
