As a Licensed Mental Health Clinician with over 16 years of experience, I help individuals identify and navigate through college stressors by exploring thought patterns and cycles that may be contributing to challenges with coping and managing emotions and symptoms. I use a strengths-based, CBT- and Motivational Interviewing-focused therapeutic approach. Some of my areas of focus include: anxiety, depression, parenting/life stressors, career ambivalence, relationship issues, self-esteem, cultural factors, college stressors, and transition. Is navigating through a life transition or relationship issue bringing up stress, anxiety, insecurities, or impacting your motivation? Is a new obstacle making school challenging? Are cultural expectations affecting your daily functioning, career goals, or desires? By understanding how these triggers can impact symptoms, we can break negative cycles and empower positive change.

If you're a college/graduate student, young adult, or professional dealing with ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationships, identity development, or self-esteem, you're not alone! Integrating evidence-based treatments like CBT, DBT, and ACT with a relational approach, our work will focus on exploring personal patterns to explore root causes of symptoms and how these contribute to distress. I meet clients where they are and walk alongside them as they move toward growth, clarity, and a greater sense of alignment. The foundation of my work is an identity-affirming approach that positions you as the expert of your own experience so you can feel supported and empowered to deepen self-awareness, build coping skills, and move toward a meaningful, values-driven life.

I'm a firm believer that you don’t need to wait until things get really bad to start therapy. Every person is unique, and therapy should be the same - that’s why I take a tailored, individualized approach that’s flexible to meet your needs and goals. The foundation of our work is a multicultural-feminist perspective that positions you as the expert of your own experience. I take a warm, collaborative approach to help you get clarity about who you are and how you want your life to look. I also integrate evidence-based interventions from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and relational frameworks. My goals involve helping clients move upstream to identify and resolve systemic and personal patterns that keep them stuck and working together to find more joy. I also believe that the personal is political. More often than not, sociopolitical systems of oppression like racism, sexism, heterosexism, transphobia, ableism, and more directly impact mental health. As a result, I take an actively anti-racist, intersectional, identity-affirming approach with clients across a broad spectrum of marginalization and privilege. I specialize in working with college students, graduate students, young adults, and professionals in Massachusetts on a variety of common issues including: mood (anxiety, depression), identity development, life transitions and adjustment, ADHD, relationship issues, academic and career issues, and burnout.

Do you look like you’re doing fine, but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly “on” inside? Many of my clients are high-achieving teens, young adults, and adults tired of overthinking, burnout, or pressure to keep it all together. Some are navigating perfectionism, ADHD, or emotional overwhelm that makes life feel heavier than it should. In our work together, we slow things down, make sense of your patterns, and build practical tools that actually fit you.
