I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with decades of experience supporting individuals, couples, children, adolescents, and families. Throughout my career, I have worked extensively in school and clinical settings, helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use concerns, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based and clinically sound practices, with a focus on empowering clients to identify goals, overcome obstacles, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I strive to help clients build insight, resilience, and practical skills that enhance their overall quality of life. In today’s ever-changing and uncertain world, many people find themselves feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected.
I offer a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their concerns, feel heard, and move toward healing at their own pace. Clients often describe my style as warm, respectful, and collaborative. I am committed to creating an environment where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported throughout the therapeutic process.

I am passionate about assisting clients in identifying and utilizing their strengths while developing additional insights and skills to address life’s challenges and appreciate moments of joy. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient mental-health settings and specializes in depression, anxiety, major life transitions, grief, and trauma.
I draw on multiple treatment approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness and self-compassion to help clients appreciate their strengths, develop additional coping skills, and hold onto hope.
I am here to meet you where you are at and support you along your journey. I applaud you for considering pursuing therapy and invite you to take the next step and schedule an initial appointment.

I am a licensed mental health counselor with 3 years of experience dedicated to helping individuals move from feeling overwhelmed and stuck to living with purpose, peace, and clarity.

I look forward to meeting you and walking beside you on your journey to wholeness and peace.

With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
It’s no surprise, but hard times don’t check your schedule before they hit. Trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, a big move, new diagnosis, or relationship issues don’t care if you have work until 8 pm or can’t leave your kids home alone. They don’t care if you travel for work or are snowed in or have finally clicked with a counselor you love right before you move.
Hard times might not care about all these factors, but Thriveworks Franklin certainly does. Online counseling—or telehealth as it is sometimes called—was created back in 1953 on the understanding that life is far from smooth-sailing but that everyone deserves a chance to get help, regardless of their situation. Thriveworks Franklin stands by this value. We offer virtual, online counseling for depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and much more. If you would like to schedule an online appointment with Thriveworks Franklin, call (617) 360-7210.
Online Counseling comes in many different forms. In its simplest form, it is counseling that takes part away from the office. Thriveworks Franklin utilizes a HIPAA compliant, private chat room used by medical professionals.
Online counseling is just as safe and effective as meeting in person. And the flexibility it allows you is paramount. You deserve to be able to chase the life you’ve dreamed of. Outside factors shouldn’t dictate whether or not you can do so. That’s why Thriveworks Franklin offers telehealth counseling: so you don’t have to stop growing and healing.
Online counseling can meet many of your needs, oftentimes all at once! Some clients use telehealth as an alternative in case weather or other outside factors prevent us from meeting. Others use it regularly.
Whatever your reason for looking into Online Counseling, a few ways it could positively influence your counseling experience are:
These are just a few of the pros online counseling can bring. There are, of course, cons as well. There are mixed results in the research field as to whether online counseling is more effective than face-to-face. You do have the potential to lose important social cues as far as body language and energies when you meet virtually. However, one overarching consensus remains the same: some counseling is better than no counseling.
If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, behavioral issues, or relationships, don’t struggle in silence. Online Counseling is here for you so you can connect with an empathetic, understanding counselor and start on the path towards a better life today. Thriveworks Franklin is excited to meet you- virtually or in-person- and begin this journey with you!
So, give us a call at (617) 360-7210 and one of our schedulers will be happy to get you connected with a counselor who fits your needs.
