I am licensed in MA and NY. I am straightforward, helping clients achieve behavioral change towards living in line with their values and priorities. I provide treatment that is founded on evidence based principles, meaning that I base treatment on knowledge gleaned from research and science while allowing for flexibility to accommodate to the individuals with whom I work. I am trained in a variety of treatment modalities and work from within an acceptance based cognitive behavior therapy framework. Balancing acceptance of our experiences and channeling our strengths towards behavior change is, I find, the most useful path forward.

I take a compassionate, collaborative approach to therapy—one that sees the person, not the problem. Rather than focusing on what’s “wrong,” I explore the internal and external factors that may be contributing to current challenges. My work is grounded in curiosity and connection, inviting clients to reflect on how their past and current experiences, including childhood, family dynamics, societal systems, environment, relationships and current stressors, shape their emotional and behavioral patterns. I believe meaningful therapy happens when there is a willingness to explore, reflect, and move toward change.

You’re high-achieving but silently struggling — with anxiety, OCD, or depression that makes it hard to feel fully present or confident. You want actionable strategies, not just a sounding board. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy to help adults break unhelpful patterns and reconnect with their authentic selves. As a therapist with deep experience supporting diverse identities, I offer a space where you don’t have to over-explain — just start healing.

You were taught to stay strong, stay quiet, and keep moving — even when everything inside you was breaking. Now you're realizing survival isn’t enough. You want more than just getting by — you want emotional peace, real connection, and clarity about who you are underneath all the pressure. I work with men of color, sons of immigrants, first responders, and those reintegrating after incarceration — men raised to suppress emotions, avoid weakness, and carry the weight without support. If you’ve ever been told to “man up” while feeling like you're falling apart inside, you’re in the right place.

Life gets hard at times with increasing demands and a finite amount of resources. As creatures of habit, we tend to get stuck in what seems like a never-ending cycle. My clients come to me with a desire for REAL change. They may be managing long-standing mental health problems and/or new and chronic medical conditions. They also seek to improve their relationships and find out what makes their life worth living. In the end, my clients appreciate introspection and understanding the past, but believe that actual concrete change is needed.
