Whether you're navigating something urgent or carrying something long-term, therapy offers a unique and professional third-party perspective. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and I am a proud queer therapist with a deep commitment to supporting LGBTQIA+ clients through both internal struggles and societal pressures. I have worked across a range of settings, including health promotion, Mass General Brigham, and group practice. I draw from an eclectic blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Humanistic Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Feminist Therapy—tailoring my approach to what fits you.
I hold a Master's in Psychology from Boston College, where I have returned as an adjunct professor of the practice. I bring that same teaching orientation into my work with clients—helping you understand the skills, frameworks, and coping strategies behind what we explore together.
My priority is to help you find relief as soon as possible, and to understand the deeper roots of what brought you here in order to sustain feeling better. I view sessions less as a clinical appointment, and more like an honest conversation with someone genuinely in your corner. I'd love to connect. Feel free to reach out to schedule a consultation together!

Beyond therapy, teaching at BC keeps me actively engaged with current research and approaches I bring directly into session. As a queer therapist, I bring both lived experience and clinical training to my work with LGBTQIA clients so you won't need to spend sessions overly explaining your world.

My practice centers on trauma/PTSD, anxiety, and depression (often the deeper roots beneath what clients bring to therapy) alongside addiction, approached with curiosity and without judgment. I'm particularly dedicated to the LGBTQIA community, including gender and sexuality exploration, ethical non-monogamy, and intimacy concerns — genuinely affirming, not just tolerant.

Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all, and neither is my approach. Rather than working from a single framework, I pull from a wide toolkit of CBT, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Feminist, Trauma-Focused, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness-Based, Narrative, Solution-Focused, Strength-Based, and Existential approaches — letting your needs, personality, and goals guide which direction we go.
