Intern | Aspiring Licensed Mental Health Counselor

I am a clinician at our Somerville clinic who provides therapy services!

I am looking to work with individuals who are feeling stuck, hopeless, and unsatisfied. This may come in the form of people who are experiencing things like anxiety, depression, grief, difficult adjustment periods, or relationship challenges. Whether it feels impossible to make friends in first grade or it is a struggle to get out of bed and to work on time, I look forward to discovering hope in the little moments and being a source of encouragement.

Together we will collaboratively problem solve; you bringing expertise on your life while I bring information on the implications of mental health symptoms and research supported strategies that may help. I have a tendency towards a developmental lens which means I am likely to think about struggles and successes in the context of the human lifespan. This enables me to better consider your current challenges while taking into account past achievements and long term potential. Additionally, we will consider your mental, physical, and social wellbeing to ensure overall improvement and support for a better future. I look forward to being a second perspective, a sounding board, and a bridge between you and the wealth of knowledge available as we work together to establish sustainable plans to reach your goals.

There is nothing more rewarding to me than assisting others in building skills, strategies and relationships that will help them move towards a more fulfilling life. Every person is an expert on their story and deserves the chance to talk about their experiences. It is an honor to be a part of your journey by helping to create a safe space where I can hear all about you and we can discuss what you want out of life and create new, personalized paths to get there.
