About
I am a compassionate, culturally sensitive, and collaborative therapist who offers a supportive space to slow down, untangle what’s been holding you back, and build confidence in your ability to cope and grow. My goal is to help you feel truly understood and equipped with the tools needed to create the balance, peace, and clarity you deserve. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. I am committed to helping individuals develop insight, resilience, and meaningful change while honoring their unique experiences and strengths. Your first session is a welcoming and supportive space to begin your therapy journey. We’ll take time to get to know each other, discuss what brought you to therapy, and explore what you’re hoping to gain from our time work together. There’s no pressure to share everything at once. Therefore, this session will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I have over 16 years of experience supporting individuals, teens, and families in a variety of behavioral health positions and settings across Massachusetts. I hold additional training and credentials through PESI and specialize in CBT, DBT and trauma-informed approaches to care. Specialties: My ideal clients are individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained, and who are ready to slow down and better understand what's been holding them back. I work well with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, problem sexual behavior, grief, trauma, life transitions, and challenges related to identity, relationships, or self-esteem.
