Do you feel anxious in relationships or have a hard time trusting others? Does the world feel overwhelming and unsafe? Do you have complicated or estranged relationships with family members? I specialize in working with individuals healing from controlling or abusive relationships, as well as those who experienced abuse or unmet needs in childhood. I have a particular interest in working with empaths, people pleasers, highly sensitive people, and WOC/QWOC. I have additional training in working with complex trauma (or C-PTSD) and dissociation and view the impact of racial oppression through this lens.

Early experiences shape our beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world at large. Having trained to work with both children and adults, I offer a greater awareness of how these experiences have impacted people throughout their lifetimes, and how they continue to influence relationships, mood, and functioning into adulthood. At times, we all experience feeling "stuck" due to these long-held beliefs and expectations. I provide support and guidance while you learn about yourself, and where these "stuck" places have originated, so that you can move forward with greater self-awareness and self-compassion.

I want to help you release whatever fear you’re holding onto. Many of us have difficulty releasing our fear and embracing trust. It may present itself differently in each of us, but the root is the same. We have placed labels on so many of these manifestations of fear and pathologized ourselves to such a degree that we feel we are inherently broken. We are not. I am here to remind you the truth of your being and help you navigate back to center (stability and ease, aka trust) repeatedly as you move through the uncertainties of life. We are here to pursue our purpose and overcome fear and discomfort.

Psychotherapy is a deeply personal choice that is often met with complicated and sometimes conflicting emotions. In order for people to make the best use of psychotherapy, they need to feel respected, safe, and supported within the therapeutic relationship. This lays the foundation upon which one can better understand themselves and in turn grow. My practice aims to assist people with improving the quality of their interpersonal relationships, deepening their understanding of the relational context in which they were raised, and living a more fulfilling life.

How can I find a therapist in Boston?

Search for nearby therapists or counselors by inputting your city, town, or suburb; or zip code; or a provider’s name into the search bar. From there, you can filter providers by the issues they treat, cost, insurance, gender, and other factors to find providers who are well-suited to your needs. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
