I believe therapy can be an empowering part of growth and healing. My work integrates the connection between thoughts, emotions, and the body, helping clients learn to regulate stress, process experiences, and feel more grounded. The space we create together is one where you can feel comfortable being fully yourself—whether you’re simply looking for a place to vent and process emotions or wanting to dive deeper into long-standing patterns and behaviors that may no longer be serving you.

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space; within that space lies your power and freedom…” Here’s the thing; we’re all basically the same- but then again, not. Our reactions (to unexpected events, comments, public scrutiny) can vary, depending on our nature, personality, character and whether or not we’ve had breakfast. While the last part was just to get your attention, I’m committed to understanding what makes YOU “tick” and why you respond the way you do. That, in and of itself may be fascinating, but my true intention is to get you back on track, help you find your footing and become laser-focused & confident, regardless of your circumstances! A bit about me: A native New Yorker, I acquired my MSW following a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from CCNY. Essentially, I view myself as a scientist and life coach, a motivator who recognizes that we’re ALL unique individuals, but do share many of the same thoughts & feelings. Most of us have struggled with anxiety, uncertainty and self-doubt; yet we’ve also experienced feeling confident, grounded and secure at one time or another. Then something happened and our self-esteem took a hit; there were setbacks. Bear in mind, our backgrounds and early childhood experiences, our genetic predispositions all serve to shape our personalities and the essence of our being. To that end, as a clinician, I strive to guide individuals to examine their beliefs- in order to gain insight into their potentially self-destructive behavior- or whatever is getting in the way of their progress. Together, we’ll explore what’s influenced your self-concept and self-esteem. The saying that always resonated with me, “If you think you can, or you think you can’t- you’re right…” Life can feel overwhelming & insurmountable, but with the right tools, the sky’s the limit- whatever you’re facing!

You’re doing your best—but fear, anxiety, or overthinking keeps getting in the way. You feel weighted down & blocked from opening up. You bottle emotions & ignore that empty feeling. You drift further & further away from your family and friends. You feel irritated & quick to anger - it's affecting your ability to focus and your school, work, and relationships are suffering as a result. You feel exhausted from all the worry, panic, and anxiety. You can't sleep & your head hurts from the overthinking about all the "things" you need to do or can't do. When you do sleep, you wake up feeling tired, in a bad mood, and dreading the day. Fear sets in that you're about to lose everything, even the people closest in your life. You try so hard but you're scared. You feeling more and more frustrated that you're not living the life wanted. You just want the anxiety and rollercoaster of emotions to stop.

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming—especially if you've tried therapy before and felt misunderstood, stuck, or unsure if it was helping. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment, and feel genuinely heard, supported, and understood. I'm Jenny, a neurodivergent Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, trauma, and burnout. I have experience supporting neurodivergent individuals, first responders, individuals facing fertility challenges, and perinatal mental health concerns. As someone who is neurodivergent myself, I understand firsthand that many people move through the world feeling different, overwhelmed, misunderstood, or exhausted from trying to meet expectations that weren't designed with them in mind. Whether you're navigating executive functioning challenges, sensory sensitivities, masking, burnout, or simply trying to better understand yourself, therapy can provide a space where you don't have to explain or justify your experiences. Many of the individuals I work with have spent years putting others first, minimizing their own needs, or feeling like they should be able to manage everything on their own. Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down, gain insight into what's keeping you stuck, and develop tools to help you create change. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and strengths-based approaches. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, I work alongside you to identify meaningful goals and create a path forward that feels realistic, sustainable, and aligned with you. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you're seeking support for a specific challenge or simply feeling ready for change, I'd be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

I bring curiosity, empathy, and a genuine interest in understanding each person’s story to every session. I was born in Connecticut, spent a decade living and working in New Orleans, and now reside in Massachusetts. These experiences give me a unique perspective on different communities, cultures, and ways of life, which I bring to my work with clients. I am licensed in these three states and am certified in Trauma-Focused CBT, Grief and Trauma Intervention, and basic trained in EMDR, as well as crisis intervention training. My experience spans clinical social work, school social work, teaching, clinical management, and program development, giving me a broad perspective on supporting clients of all ages and family systems. I take a flexible, creative approach, empowering clients to build skills, gain insight, and make meaningful changes at a pace that works for them.

Hi there, I go by Maddy and I've been working in the field for about 3 years helping clients at the worst points of their lives find a sense of relief from their suffering. I work with a diverse range of clients, ideally those who have a very loud inner critic, want to be more outspoken and advocate for themselves, and those who feel that they aren't cut out for this weird thing called life. I have a particular affinity towards anyone experiencing the above with the added layer of AuDHD. If any of the above speaks to you, please reach out and schedule an intake appointment.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use.
