How do you interact with the world?
Welcome!
Do you feel like you are always just surviving?
I’m a Board Certified Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) helping adults in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. I work with adults who are navigating complex trauma, anxiety, relational challenges and the lasting effects of difficult life experiences. Many adults I work with struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm and feeling disconnected from themselves and others, even if things look okay on the outside.
Your symptoms aren’t about what is “wrong” with you. Your symptoms provide information about what happened to you, and how your mind and body adapted to survive. Therapy with me is about honoring those adaptations while helping you build new ways of living that feel more connected and authentic.
I approach therapy in a collaborative and compassionate way that is grounded in evidence-based and trauma informed modalities. I believe that healing happens when you feel genuinely understood and safe enough to explore the experiences that shaped you, while also learning practical skills to create meaningful change.
If you’re wondering whether we’d be a good fit, I’d love to connect.

About me
I graduated from Bridgewater State University in 2019 with a Master of Education in Mental Health Counseling and became independently licensed in 2021; shortly thereafter I launched my own private practice. I am board certified by the National Board of Certified Counselors and am a member of the American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA) and the Massachusetts - MAMHCA. I am also a member and mentor for the Massachusetts Association for Psychoanalytic Psychology (MAPP). I am dedicated to providing the best care possible and am constantly learning from trainings, other therapists, and my patients.
My Approach
Complex and relational trauma from childhood can create patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors that can negatively impact our adult relationships, including the relationship with ourselves. The foundation of my work is based in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is a form of talk therapy which focuses on the relationship between the therapist and patient, and exploring the roots of our current difficulties in order to understand and create meaningful change. As our templates are formed in childhood, the way we relate to ourselves, others and the world, starts with our earliest relationships. Psychodynamic therapists will focus on understanding those relationships and their impact to help create important and lasting changes for our future. We work on increasing self-awareness of our own templates and emotions, where they come from, why they are there, what they mean and how they impact us. Another area of focus in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is patterns - patterns of emotions, behaviors and ways we interact with ourselves and others - in order to be able to identify, explore and change patterns that are no longer working for us. I also aim to provide a lot of psychoeducation about how and why patterns are created, what functions our thoughts, feelings and behaviors perform, and our brain’s focus on survival.
