My style is explorational, affirmative and always respectful of where you’ve come from and the goals you’d like to meet in the coming days. We’ll explore your personal myth—the one you’ve developed in your life experiences--and seek to add understanding and self-compassion. I am a Board-Certified Fellow in the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress licensed in Massachusetts and Florida, and I have earned two Masters degrees--my second Masters is in Counseling Psychology.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals find resilience, hope, and emotional balance during life's most challenging times. At the heart of my practice is the belief that therapy is a collaborative process rooted in empathy, authenticity, and respect. Life's challenges-whether brought on by illness, aging, loss, trauma, family distress, or change-can be overwhelming, but they also offer opportunities for growth. Through a supportive and integrative therapeutic approach, I help individuals build coping strategies, improve relationships, and create lasting positive change. I aim to empower individuals to reconnect with their strengths, deepen their self-understanding, and move forward with clarity and confidence. I spent the first 8 years of my career working at the Department of Veterans Affairs working in an acute hospital setting helping individuals deal with acute and chronic illnesses, aging, trauma and life transitions. I also have extensive experience working with caregivers and families dealing with difficult transitions, grief and caregiver burnout. I look forward to meeting you and helping you grow and create positive change in your life.

Making that first call to a therapist takes real courage, but you are worth it. I would be honored to be the one to support you in meeting your goals. I have a passion for working with adults 18+ who are struggling with life transitions, motivation, self-esteem, feeling connected to others, and finding their purpose. With 20+ years of counseling/social work experience, I know we can work together to build you up and support you in learning techniques to make life a little more manageable. My intention is to help you feel more in control of your life by cultivating self-awareness, processing emotions, problem-solving, and replacing unsupportive coping skills with healthier strategies. Together we explore and identify the underlying thoughts and emotions that drive these behaviors while working at your pace. Let me help guide you to find your strengths, embrace your innate resiliency, and reach your best you. With the combination of various healing processes, we will work together with respect and compassion to develop the tools to get you to where you want to be.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Massachusetts rather than a city like Boston?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Massachusetts from Springfield to Cape Cod! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Massachusetts.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Depression?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Depression, is filtering therapists in Massachusetts that work with patients with similar concerns.

What are the "Clients say I’m" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
