What's My Approach to Therapy?
Hi, I\'m happy you\'re here.
If you\'ve found my profile on this page, you are liking seeking out someone to help you through something in your life that is not working for you. Whether you have been in pain for a long time or are feeling as though things are just starting to seem more challenging than they should, now is a great time to get the support that you need.
I specialize in helping individuals through the various changes and challenges we experience in our lives. Do you find joy in your daily life? Do you feel stuck in the struggle of the day-to-day? Do you try to make the most of moments with your children, while also feeling as though you are drowning, and not enough? Have you been through a trauma that has changed the way you view your world, or the way you parent, and can’t find a way back to being the main character in your own story? Does anxiety limit you from achieving what you want, or who you know you can be? Therapy can be a wonderful way to explore these concerns and work towards taking charge of your future. You are worth getting the help and support that you need, so let\'s get started. Invest in yourself.
My Practice & Services
I utilize telehealth services throughout Massachusetts and provide an integrated, trauma-informed approach, including cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and narrative techniques. My treatment is focused on creating a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere, focusing on empowerment and acceptance, and meeting people where they find themselves in their journey. I am an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and support health at every size.

Groups I Work With
- I work primarily with women dealing with various life transitions. I believe mom\'s with young children receive far too little support in our society, and appreciate the benefit of providing this at this challenging time. I work with moms adjusting to the impact of parenting on their mental health, as well as working with what trauma, identity issues, etc they might be bringing into this journey. I work with woman later in life working through transitions with aging and their children aging, as well as relationship changes. Overall identity and finding a persons joy and self-compassion are major themes I notice in the population I work with.
