Our therapists offer anger management therapy in Boston, MA

I’m a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of experience supporting clients through anxiety, PTSD, depression, stress, major life transitions, and relationship challenges. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning after difficult past experiences, I’m here to help you navigate what comes next. I believe in expanding your resilience, building on your strengths, and helping you move through life with more clarity, confidence, and emotional freedom.

I hold a master’s in clinical mental health counseling from Bay Path University. I integrate acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, family systems, and an interpersonal process to offer individualized, culturally responsive, and compassionate care.

I know that no single approach works for everyone, so I show up with curiosity, empathy, and a bit of humor as we get to know one another. Together, we’ll explore new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating to the world so you can realign with your values, reconnect with yourself, and build the life you want to live.
