Together, we can explore what’s been weighing on you, strengthen coping skills, and help you feel more grounded and connected in your day-to-day life. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs and goals. Therapy is not about being perfect — it’s about having space to be human while learning new ways to care for yourself.

I have been a therapist for 20+ years and most of those years have been working with college students on college campuses. Several of those years were spent as an assistant director or director of mental health services at a large university. Maybe you're feeling let down at school, like this isn't how it was supposed to be. Maybe it seems like everyone else has found their friend group but you only feel connected to acquaintances. Maybe you're experiencing anxiety or depression or both. Whether your concerns are related to starting college, graduating, or somewhere in between, let's talk this through together and find your path to feeling your best. No issue is too big or too small. I am licensed in MA and I am a registered telehealth provider in FL, so I can see clients in person in my Natick, MA office or by video anywhere in MA or FL. I see clients aged 16 and up.
