Woburn, MA 01801
I am ready to meet clients where they are, wherever they are in their journey. They may come to therapy feeling stuck, unheard, lost, or simply knowing they want something to change. They might not know where to start, or they may think they know exactly what their path should be. Either way, I’m here for it. Clients don’t have to feel confident about starting therapy—they may even feel unsure or ambivalent. They don’t need to have all the answers or know what they want yet. We can explore it together, because everyone deserves to feel heard.

On the outside, you may look like you have it together but in your relationships, something isn’t working. You might overthink, shut down, lose confidence, or keep repeating the same patterns with women. Part of you wants a deeper connection, but another part pulls away or doesn’t know how to show up the way you want to. I work with men who are ready to understand themselves, break unhealthy patterns, and become more grounded, confident, and emotionally aware without losing their edge.

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.

In a world where there is endless advice, online "experts" and seemingly easy fixes, it can be challenging to hit a roadblock and find that nothing feels quite right. Whether it is depression, anxiety, or just a general sense that something is “off”, it keeps you stuck. And you just can't figure out how to fix it. While I have no easy answers or quick fixes, I offer a place to pause, reflect, and talk about what’s been holding you back. And most importantly, what you want to happen next.

Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) Therapists
Who is ABA therapy for?
ABA therapy is most widely applied to teach basic behavioral, communication, and social skills to children with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disorders. It may also be used to help people undergoing rehabilitation following brain injury. It uses reward-based learning techniques to impart essential life skills. ABA is also used in the treatment of some other conditions. One is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) , to help children overcome difficulties with concentration and controlling impulsive behaviors. For people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, it is sometimes used to help them overcome compulsive behavior. ABA therapy is also sometimes used in cases of PTSD, to help people turn to positive behaviours when they have experiences that trigger distressing memories.

Why do people need ABA?
Children with autism and other developmental disorders need ABA therapy as a way to learn how to communicate and engage with others, improve their general ability to function and lead fulfilling lives, and diminish dangerous behaviors. The techniques used in ABA therapy are based on established principles of learning, and positive reinforcement—supplying earned rewards—is an important strategy for motivating positive behaviour change.

What happens in ABA therapy?
The first thing that happens in ABA therapy is an evaluation of the child in service of developing a treatment plan. The therapist meets with the child’s parent(s) in order to learn about the family and the child, assesses the child’s behavior and ability level, and then creates a plan tailored to the specific needs of that person. Once the treatment goals are established, the skills to be learned are broken down into small, component steps. Treatment sessions focus on learning and practicing each step, and furnishing meaningful rewards as steps are learned, behaviors are spontaneously implemented, and goals are accomplished. ABA therapists also train caregivers and families so that behavioral progress occurs beyond the clinical setting.

What problems does ABA therapy treat?
One of the primary goals of ABA therapy is to decrease the outbursts and other nonproductive behaviors of children with autism. At the same time, ABA aims to remedy language deficits and help such children learn how to communicate successfully. ABA therapy helps children learn age-appropriate social skills and gain skills, such as attention and focus, that are necessary for school.
