Licensed Mental Heath Counselor
I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of MA, with over 2,200 hours of direct experience working with adults, adolescents, couples, and groups. I am familiar with clinical presentations across the diagnostic spectrum and am currently most passionate about work that centers on helping clients build awareness and alignment in their interpersonal and social relationships. I am additionally drawn to working with individuals in crisis and supporting regulation and stabilization.
From fall 2025 to summer 2026 I ran The Relationship Lab, a process group for adults wanting to better understand and change their relational patterns. I have particularly enjoyed working with individuals and couples navigating various forms of ethical non-monogamy and have a growing interest in becoming a sex therapist. I see myself as particularly good at helping people move from fear and overwhelm to stability, and from stability to autonomy, healthy connection, and desire.
While the focus of our conversations is never on me, I practice in a warm and relational style and am happy to be known by my clients insofar as that facilitates therapeutic goals. I am open, direct and directive in therapeutic relationships that call for that and believe in providing insight when asked about my educated clinical opinion. I am not here to just compassionately listen – I can help you make friends who can do that for free. I see active listening as a means to the end of helping you recognize and take the steps necessary to change your life in the direction you desire. I am here to guide our oscillation from the abstract and conceptual to the concrete and actionable.
I am drawn to working with anyone who resonates with my voice. We will work particularly well together if you see yourself as a deep and analytical/intellectual thinker, explicitly strive to be truer to yourself as you move through life, and would like treatment where you know what we are working on and why and how.
