I am a Licensed Mental Health Clinician (LMHC) based in Boston ,MA. I received my masters of education from Cambridge College in Mental Health Counseling and have been a practicing clinician for 5 years. I am a dedicated and compassionate therapist with a deep commitment to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve their fullest potential. With almost 10 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration, as I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to foster healing and growth.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, expect a warm and empathetic welcome as we begin our journey together. I recognize that seeking help can feel daunting, so my focus is on creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can freely express yourself. We'll start by getting to know each other, discussing your goals, concerns, and reasons for seeking therapy. I'll attentively listen to your story, providing support and validation as we delve into your experiences and emotions. Together, we'll collaboratively develop a personalized treatment plan to address your unique needs. By the end of our session, my goal is for you to feel heard, supported, and empowered to embrace healing and positive change.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths as a provider lie in my ability to foster genuine connections, listen attentively, and empower clients to embark on their path towards positive change and personal fulfillment.
