I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 15 years of experience, and I am also an advanced doctoral candidate in psychoanalysis. Over the years, I have worked with adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, and personality difficulties. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by old patterns. I provide a safe and supportive space where you can reduce anxiety, sadness, or self-doubt, strengthen relationships, set healthy boundaries, and begin meaningful healing.
I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis and bring advanced doctoral training in psychoanalysis. My approach is depth-oriented and psychodynamic, with a focus on uncovering patterns, exploring meaning, and creating lasting change through insight, support, and compassionate care.
I invite you to take the courageous step toward therapy, whether you are seeking relief from pain, clarity in confusion, or stronger connections with yourself and others. Together, we can create space for growth, authenticity, and healing. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you take the next step toward a more fulfilling life.
