When working with you individually or in a couple, I encourage reflection, curiosity, and learning to understand your needs with compassion, creativity, and calm. I welcome diverse ages, abilities, and sexual and gender identities and invite the complexities of culture, ethnicity, and race. My approach is relational, attending to who and how you are in your relationship to yourself and with others. My specialty areas are in treating trauma, grief, and those experiencing chronic illness, and I have extensive experience supporting clients through major life transitions in academics, career, identity, and concerns across the lifespan.

I have 20 years of experience in the field. Are there changes that either you want to or need to act upon? If things feel too difficult to change and you need guidance, support, direction, and empathic listening you might be a great candidate for individual therapy from me. What separates me from other clinicians is my versatility. Throughout my career, I have worked at every level of care and every population. From individual therapy/group therapy to intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization programs to being the clinical director at a locked psychiatric hospital, I have seen pretty much everything.

My clinical areas of expertise include somatic therapies (both EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy); working with LGBTQ+ people healing from the impact of homo/bi/trans phobia and bias; people who feel anxious and/or depressed; survivors of emotional, physical and/or sexual abuse; and gay men who engage in compulsive sexual behavior.
Entering therapy is a bold, brave step. Most people who have been struggling have tried everything they know to feel better. Asking for support from a therapist marks a turning point. I offer clients my clinical judgment and attention that is rooted in a blend of Psychodynamic, Relational-Cultural and Mindfulness theories with a body-oriented focus. I integrate these concepts into our work in clear, understandable and practical ways. My clients tell me that they appreciate my real and authentic presence; my gentle, direct and honest feedback; and my engaging and interactive way of talking with them.

I’ve helped people who struggled with controlling their fear, anger, guilt, shame, mood swings, anxiety, depression, compulsion and addictions.
Email preferred. Does life ever feel like a maze, with a dead end around every corner? Does it ever feel like the more you try to untangle the threads of your mind, the tighter the knots become? I compare my role as therapist to be a guide, someone who listens carefully and guides you through your unique maze, pointing out potential pitfalls and celebrating scenic views. I offer a calm space to allow you to open up, process your experiences, and take steps forward. For years I’ve worked with people who wrestled with grief over various losses such as death, divorce, chronic illness, unemployment and estranged relationships.

I completed my Master’s degree in Social Work at Simmons University. I value the experiences and intersectional identities that my clients hold, which enables me to tailor my therapeutic approach to meet each individual’s needs. My approach is unique, multifactorial, and evolves over time as we work together.

Struggling with stress, relationships, or major life changes? Feeling stuck or unsure what’s next?
