Life is an ever-changing and often challenging endeavor. It's not uncommon to find yourself feeling stuck, defeated and alone. As a therapist, my goal is help you in your journey toward realizing your best self. One who is centered, confident and connected. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, or family and relationship issues, therapy can help.
I identify as a collaborative therapist who is informed by a systemic and culturally sensitive approach. As a clinician specializing in LGBTQ concerns, it's my mission and expertise to provide a space where healing and self-love can emerge.
I've been in practice since 2010, working with diverse populations who find me to be intuitive, warm and accessible. I am licensed in Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania. Feel free to contact me for a free telephone consultation so that we may determine if I'm a good fit for your needs.
