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.

One of the biggest lessons I've learned—both in my own life and as a therapist—is that healing isn't linear. There are seasons of growth, setbacks, and rediscovery, and each has something valuable to teach us. My own journey introduced me to the powerful connection between mental and physical wellness, which continues to shape how I support clients today.
Hi, I'm Riley, a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) passionate about helping individuals recognize their strengths and create lasting change. I believe therapy isn't about "fixing" someone—it's about creating a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward a life that feels authentic, balanced, and meaningful to you.
I've worked with adolescents and adults supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, trauma, and transitions. I'm passionate about holistic wellness and how movement and fitness support healing. I hold certifications in WAG Nutrition and Trauma-Informed Weight Lifting.
I take a collaborative, compassionate approach to therapy. Whether exploring coping skills, processing experiences, or improving relationships, I help you build on your strengths and create meaningful change. Reaching out can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate challenges alone. I look forward to walking alongside you.

As a compassionate and culturally conscious psychotherapist with over 8 years of experience, I specialize in addressing a wide range of mental health concerns and supporting individuals facing complex life challenges and stressors, integrating empathy, cultural sensitivity, and evidence-based practices to empower individuals, couples, and families to thrive.
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.

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.
Relationship issues can cause significant stress and strain on your love life, but they certainly aren’t uncommon. If you’re struggling with conflict in your home, pursuing couples therapy is a great idea. Moreover, the sooner you seek help for the issues that may be affecting your relationship, the more likely you will be to fully resolve them.
You can heal your relationship today by partnering up with a couples therapist at Thriveworks Counseling in Watertown, MA. These professionals have the experience and the skills that you’re looking for in a relationship expert. They have helped many other couples manage and overcome their relationship issues, of which might match the issues that you are experiencing in your relationship.
If you’re interested in scheduling an appointment with a Thriveworks couples therapist, contact our office. Our scheduling team is here to assist you and get you set up with a couples therapist at your earliest convenience.

Many couples have disagreements over similar issues; however, circumstances are always unique to each relationship. These may include:
If you attend couples therapy at Thriveworks, the professional you see will do everything they can to help you address your specific problem(s). Even if they haven’t dealt with your exact circumstances before, their training, experience, and insight can be applied to many varied relationship issues.
Too often, couples struggle with whether to see a counselor as their relationship may be excellent other than the one issue. For example, you and your partner might form a unified bond on everything from raising kids to handling money. You might still feel in love and enjoy each other’s company, but issues may crop up under certain circumstances.
This is a prime reason why the AAMFT recommends seeing someone, like couples therapists in Watertown, as soon as possible. Don’t give one issue the power to make an otherwise great relationship feel miserable. Additionally, know that couples therapy isn’t just for those experiencing a major problem in their relationship. It’s also for those who recognize some room for improvement or the benefit of learning new tools for resolving conflicts and connecting on a deeper level.
