Meet Our Team

I view therapy as a partnership where clients are provided with a safe and supportive environment so that they feel empowered to make positive changes. I offer individual therapy to adolescents and young adults who experience anxiety, depression, disordered eating, body image issues, low self-esteem, and perfectionism.

I draw from many therapeutic modalities to ensure that each individual gets their needs met and to cultivate personal growth.

As a therapist, my goal is to work alongside you to provide a safe, supportive, and accepting environment. I believe that the relationship between counselor and client acts as a pathway toward growth and healing, so I work to ensure that my clients always feel seen, heard, and understood. I aim to help you find empowerment, overcome feelings of inferiority, challenge negative self-beliefs, and take steps toward becoming your authentic self.

My approach to counseling is an integration of person-centered, narrative, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Additionally, I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities depending on my client’s individual needs and goals. I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults, and I have experience working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

When I am not in the office, you can find me trying new restaurants, spending time with my dogs Berklee, Bandit, and Nelly, completing my next home project, or catching up with friends and family.

My primary approach to counseling is an integration of person-centered, mindfulness-based, and cognitive-behavioral therapies. When appropriate I also use expressive art therapy, narrative therapy, or other therapeutic modalities to address a client’s specific wellness or therapeutic needs. My role is to assist you in reaching whatever goals you may have for yourself by providing non-judgmental support and by facilitating your journey in whatever form it may take. I believe that as people become more accepting of themselves, they are more capable of finding happiness and contentment in their lives.

I also taught high school for seven years in an independent school setting. I've received professional development training in executive functioning and learning differences. I now work with students and adults on achieving academic and personal success, while incorporating various strategies into their mental health wellness plan.
