It feels like it’s never enough. You never have enough time. And everywhere you go you’re needed. You try to be the best at everything you do…at your job, with your home, and with your family. But you continue to feel depleted and overwhelmed with responsibility. Sometimes it feels like you’re just surviving instead of truly living.

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.
