My approach is based on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) that takes client goals and utilizes techniques to accomplish the desired objectives. It is a collaborative, reality-based method informed by mindfulness and life-coaching strategies. This is a holistic approach and can last for 12 sessions or longer based on client’s choice. I encourage and assign homework between sessions and am always open to new ideas that will assist in your growth. I hope to work myself out of a job by sharing treatments and tools that equip you to cope with the daily living of life.. I provide tele-therapy services. Counseling is accessed through a secure, encrypted, HIPPA-compliant video conferencing portal. This method has many advantages including: convenience, eliminating gas/parking costs, time savings, no travel stress, and the lowering of one’s carbon footprint.

🌿 Trauma-Informed Therapy Group: Healing & Empowerment for Female Survivors 🌿 Join a supportive community dedicated to healing from trauma through mindfulness, art therapy, and guided discussion. Together, we’ll foster resilience, shared strength, and self-discovery, providing practical tools to cope with trauma and rebuild a sense of identity and empowerment. ✨ You are not alone. Your story matters. ✨ 🗓 Start Date: November 4th, 2025 — Open Enrollment 📅 Meets: Every Tuesday, 6:00–7:00 PM 💻 Format: Virtual (Telehealth) 👥 Who: All female-identifying individuals, 18+ I work best with individuals who feel deeply but often struggle to make sense of those emotions. Many of my clients come to therapy carrying the weight of trauma, relational wounds, or identity confusion, often compounded by cultural or neurodivergent experiences. They may feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or disconnected from others and themselves. In our work together, they’re not just looking for coping tools, but for clarity, healing, and self-compassion. My goal is to offer a space where they can safely explore who they are, process what they've lived through, and begin building a life that feels more grounded. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating trauma, identity development, and emotional overwhelm. I tailor each session to your unique needs—whether that means building concrete coping skills, processing difficult memories, or helping you reconnect with your sense of self. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve been carrying so much on your own for a long time. Whether you're feeling emotionally exhausted, uncertain about your future, or just needing a space where you don't have to explain everything, you're not alone. I offer a space where your story will be heard with care and without judgment. **Transition into Adulthood: Support Group** Are you feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of becoming an adult? Whether you're navigating decisions about school, work, relationships, identity, or independence, you’re not alone. This virtual support group for young adults (17–26) offers a safe space to connect and explore topics like managing anxiety, self-doubt, relationships, identity, life direction, family roles, and mental health. The group runs on a rolling basis. Insurance accepted: BCBS, MGB, Optum, United Healthcare. Private pay: $50/session. Starts Sep 8, 2025, 6-7 pm every Monday.

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Boston, MA

Having worked in both academic and corporate environments, my current work as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner has evolved from observing students’ and colleagues’ challenges and successes and their relationship to emotional health and ability to focus on daily and long-term goals. As a result of my Yale, Duke, Tufts and MGH psychiatric training, I’ve honed my observations into effective working theories about the biopsychosocial factors that influence peoples’ vitality and well-being. If you're currently struggling with academic, professional or emotional obstacles, I believe I can help. My practice involves the diagnosis and treatment of multiple mental health conditions including: ADHD, ANXIETY and DEPRESSION with a focus on compassionate, culturally sensitive, SUPPORTIVE PSYCHOTHERAPY and MEDICATION MANAGEMENT for adolescents and adults. If you’re struggling with a mental health condition and need help with medication management, or simply want assistance with improving your mental well-being, please contact me for a private consultation. Initial appointments last about an hour with follow-ups taking less time. If you’d like to discuss living a more balanced life, please give me a call.

Do you "overthink"? Are you constantly criticizing yourself? Are you often fearing the worst-case scenario? Do you find it difficult to get through the day without worry, stress, or even panic? Do you feel like you're not good enough? Do you struggle with your emotions? Do you often feel overwhelmed? Do you have poor frustration tolerance? Are you having trouble with a life transition, such as a new job, or stress in your relationship? Do you sometimes feel like giving up? It’s often difficult to imagine things changing. However, change IS possible!

Therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff or scary. I believe healing works best when we can laugh, reflect, and be real together. I create a space where you can bring your full self, messy, hopeful, curious, and everything in between. Whether you’re navigating stress, identity, relationships, or just figuring out who you want to be, we’ll work side by side to uncover your strengths and help you move forward. As a social work intern, I’m passionate about supporting people through life’s in-between moments, the chapters that feel uncertain, overwhelming, or full of possibility. I bring an easygoing, compassionate style to therapy, blending evidence-based practices with genuine human connection. My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental: think of me as both a guide and a co-pilot. I work with individuals who want to explore identity, manage stress and anxiety, process life transitions, and deepen self-understanding. I also care deeply about working with young adults, students, and marginalized communities, helping folks feel seen and supported in spaces that often overlook them. Therapy with me is not about being ‘perfect’, it’s about exploring your story, building resilience, and finding ways to grow that actually feel authentic to you."
