About
I offer a warm, trauma-informed, and collaborative approach that honors each client’s story while supporting healing, growth, and resilience.
I am a Master’s Level Counselor with 13 years of experience providing direct care and outpatient counseling. I work primarily with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and stress related to work, family, or identity. I also support individuals navigating complex medical or developmental concerns, helping them build emotional stability and stronger coping skills.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Merrimack College. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive, integrating evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and strength-based therapy to support emotional regulation and insight.
In our work together, you can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we move at a pace that feels safe and empowering. I am committed to meeting you with empathy and respect as we develop practical tools to help you heal, grow, and create a more balanced life.

As someone familiar with trauma and its treatment, I understand the strength that survivors possess, including the ability to ask for help.
I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 4 years of experience supporting individuals as they navigate life’s most difficult challenges. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds who are seeking healing, clarity, and renewed connection with themselves. I am especially passionate about helping clients process painful experiences, build self-compassion, and rediscover their inner strengths.
I earned my master’s degree in counseling from Salem State University. My approach is rooted in narrative therapy, helping clients explore the stories they carry and reshape them into ones grounded in empowerment and growth. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to healing, and I create a warm, welcoming environment.
If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy, you don’t have to carry everything alone. I provide a compassionate space where you can share your story, feel heard, and begin lightening the weight you’ve been holding. When you’re ready, I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing.

My go-to approach for helping people in couples/marriage counseling is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as it helps dissect you’re thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
I teach the following tools in couples/marriage counseling:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling when the couple ceases to argue in sessions. They also have a decreased emotional response when discussion occurs regarding the primary presenting problem.
Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling with a date and the couple spending time alone.
To prepare for your first couples/marriage counseling session, you can each separately write a list of questions for the session.
Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
