Therapists in Hanover, MA

Finding a therapist can be overwhelming and sometimes downright intimidating. No matter if it's your first time and you have no idea what to expect or you are a seasoned veteran looking to get back in, what I strive to do is make the process as natural and easy as possible. I enjoy learning about you, teaching skills, and balancing validation with problem solving.

I hope to teach you to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings and to take actions that align with your values despite them. I see myself as an active participant in the therapy process and I use a strengths-based, holistic approach to meet you where you are on your own unique life's journey and to help you get unstuck. I take value and joy in being my authentic self and strive to help my clients feel the same, moving away from the internal and external noise of shoulds/shouldnts, societal prescriptions/timelines, judgements and criticisms, and into living a life based on your own unique strengths and values.

As a licensed mental health professional, I offer counseling services that are tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual.
