I believe therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to help you move forward and create meaningful change. My approach is warm, open-minded, non-judgmental, direct, and engaging. I’m not just here to listen; I’m here to help you identify and overcome the barriers keeping you stuck, whether they stem from daily challenges or unresolved experiences from your past. Whatever brings you to therapy, I will tailor our work to fit your unique needs and goals, drawing from evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as well as psychodynamic and Gestalt approaches.

I have a passion for working with individuals and couples and enjoy supporting clients navigating issues of identity, human sexuality, mood and anxiety disorders, and other mental health diagnoses.
I approach therapy through psychodynamic and humanistic lens. I believe that while past experiences influence who we are, it is our values, goals, and aspirations that guide who we are becoming. With this foundation, I integrate evidence-based treatments (e.g. CBT, DBT, ACT) to develop an individualized and responsive treatment plan for each client.

I work with people who don’t fit into boxes—driven minds, heavy histories, and those who feel both ahead of the world and weighed down by it. You’re not “broken”; you’re built differently. My work goes straight to the core: the patterns that shaped you, the defenses that protected you, and the potential you haven’t fully stepped into yet. This is deep, direct, high-level therapy—meant for people who know they’re meant for more and refuse to settle for a life that doesn’t match their capacity.

Your brain is the command center for your emotions and your thoughts dictate your reality; this is why my approach focuses on positive psychology and the impactful use of gratitude and positive thinking habits. Due to neuroplascity, unwanted behavior and conditioned responses can be changed by retraining the brain through corrective thinking techniques, sensory input changes through somatic practice and the calming effects of mindfully being in the present moment, just to name a few. One of my specialties is coping with chronic pain through a proven-effective approach called Pain Reprocessing Therapy.

I work with people who long for deeper, more reciprocal relationships, a life that actually fits, and a way of being that doesn’t require so much effort to maintain. You know how to hold it all together. You show up, take care of others, work hard, and keep moving, regardless of what you need. Externally, all looks well, but internally, you feel stuck in patterns that leave you feeling drained, unseen, weighed down by pain, burned out, or always chasing. I specialize in working with high-performers, perfectionists, people pleasers, or anxious attachers who seek greater satisfaction, connection, peace, and balance in their life.

I approach our work together with the belief that meaningful change begins by recognizing what’s working and honestly exploring what needs to shift. I use a goal-oriented and strengths-based lens, helping you build on your existing resilience while developing new strategies to move forward with intention. I always lead with compassion, as this is hard and brave work to do. I believe that at the heart of much of this work is grief—not always grief from a death, but often unspoken grief that comes with change. Any time we grow, whether we’re navigating relationships, identity, transitions, etc., there is a kind of loss.

Men are often told to “figure it out,” “be strong,” or “deal with it”—and that pressure can become exhausting. I help men who are overwhelmed, anxious, struggling with relationships, identity, or emotional shutdown finally have a space where they can talk openly without shame or judgment. I also have a strong passion for supporting LGBTQ clients who want a therapist who understands the complexity, nuance, and courage that comes with navigating identity, relationships, and mental health.

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.

Hi I'm Jill, a Mental Health Counselor licensed in Massachusetts with 19 years experience. Something I've heard over the years is how hard it is to pick a therapist from a very long list of skilled clinicians that typically sound similar. How can you really know? I can assure you- working with me will be a collaboration because I believe in building a solid rapport first with anyone I work with. Having worked in Boston and surrounding areas, shelters, and internationally online, I can adapt to meet people where they're at.

Are you living in infertility limbo with everything from career to vacations to buying a home on hold? Infertility seeps into every part of your life and you've lost control and lost yourself. Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally, through IUI, IVF, or egg or sperm donors, you deserve to regain some clarity and boundaries in your daily life, feel like yourself again, process your fertility experiences, and stop feeling guilt for your normal, human feelings (yes, it’s okay to have emotions when you find out your friend is pregnant on the first try). You don't have to choose between your mental health and IVF.
