I provide an open-minded, affirming, and eclectic approach that blends components of CBT, DBT, and narrative therapies to help you reconnect with your values, heal from the past, and create more joy in everyday life. Clients often describe my style as both grounded and nurturing. I bring strong clinical assessment skills, a bit of awkward humor, and a healthy balance of optimism and realism into each session. I’m especially passionate about supporting clients who are exploring possible neurodivergence, navigating gender identity, healing from trauma, or facing challenges in relationships. I see therapy as a partnership where we create space for both reflection and action. Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back, develop practical tools for change, and work toward a life that feels more aligned and authentic.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session will feel like a conversation. We’ll talk about where you are in your wellness, what has gotten in the way, and what goals feel most important right now. I’ll help you clarify your vision for growth and provide direction and gentle redirection as needed. My goal is for you to leave that first session feeling seen, supported, and hopeful about the work ahead.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
With over 13 years of experience, I’ve supported individuals and families of all ages through trauma recovery, expressive arts groups, and community-based work across Southern Massachusetts. I specialize in working with neurodivergent clients, including autistic adults, as well as those impacted by childhood trauma. I bring compassion, creativity, and humor into the process while maintaining a focus on goals. You can expect an approach that values your individuality and celebrates progress—big or small.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am best positioned to serve folx living with neurodivergence, gender dysphoria, childhood trauma, new parents and those navigating challenges in their relationships. Areas of clinical need that I am less positioned to address include addiction, eating disorders and bipolar disorder. Clients facing these challenges may benefit from a different provider. If you’re looking for therapy that combines humor, depth, and authenticity, I’d be honored to walk alongside you in this process.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I use traditional CBT to help identify the connection between thoughts, actions and experiences and strategize ways to improve and relieve patterns that have been holding people back. For people who have experienced trauma, I combine this approach with a gentle trauma focus to increase feelings of safety.
Narrative
I use narrative therapy to help people envision their lives from a place of growth, hope and courage. This treatment method is based on the idea that people create narratives to make sense of their lives, and that these narratives can influence their wellbeing.
Gender-affirming therapy
I employ a gender affirming approach to therapy to support gender expansive individuals in exploring the nuanced and complex experience of gender exploration and transition.
Integrative
I employ an integrative approach to therapy, tying together multiple treatment modalities based on the unique individual needs of each patient. This includes samples of DBT coping and distress tolerance strategies, mindfulness, solution-focused collaborative problem solving, and psychodynamic assessment of trauma, childhood and family influences.
