Clinical Mental Health Counselor

(They/Them)

I am an Intern at our Marlborough who provides therapy services!

When dealing with overwhelming emotions, it can be hard to know where to even begin. As a mental health counselor, I’m here to help with that. I am enthusiastic about working with just about any type of client, from children to older adults, on a wide range of issues. I feel particularly drawn to working with people who have difficulty understanding or expressing their emotions, and people who have been impacted by trauma in some way, regardless of their specific diagnosis. All people have the capacity to heal and thrive — therapy provides the space to develop personal insights and embrace one’s strengths in order to do so.

I approach counseling from a client-centered foundation, incorporating tools and techniques from a number of therapeutic modalities including play therapy, expressive arts techniques, mindfulness, existential therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and beyond.

I am here for my clients, unconditionally. Progress isn’t linear; humans are complicated; that’s okay! It is important to me to meet people where they’re at, and to show up for them with empathy, respect, and honesty. I value transparency and authenticity in my work, and try to make therapy collaborative, flexible, and – hopefully – even fun.
