Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

I offer narrative and REBT based talk therapy services on a sliding scale ($60-$80). I serve all populations but I am a member of the LGBTQ community and specialize in those issues and concerns. I do individual, couples counseling, and adolescent/teen counseling.

I am a pragmatic therapist who meets clients where they are and assists them in creating a quality of life that is authentic to them. I have experience treating individuals/couples with life transitions, grief and loss issues, trauma, & anxiety. I assist clients in identifying symptoms that are negatively impacting their daily lives and possible root causes. I take a strength based perspective with an emphasis on evidence based practices while often incorporating humor into our sessions. My job is not to tell clients how to live their lives, but to provide a safe space to explore their desires and teach them tools to reach their therapeutic goals. My clientele includes the LGBTQ+ community, individuals living with health challenges/chronic pain, & older adults. I practice from a sex positive framework & specialize in concerns related to relationship issues, trauma, & polyamory/kink. I am currently engaging in continuing education regarding human sexuality to further my knowledge of sexuality as an integral part of clients’ lives. My ideal clients are couples/individuals who are open to engaging in an interactive & dynamic therapeutic relationship that is goal-oriented. My therapeutic practice is grounded in compassion and empathy while working with clients to cultivate sustainable life changes. I have a strong commitment to working with members of the LGBTQ+ community, of which I am a proud member, from a place of empowerment throughout all the stages of adulthood. In conjunction with sessions conducted via telehealth I provide home visits in the greater Boston area as my schedule allows.

She has extensive experience working with marginalized and underserved communities, such as members of SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity) and veterans.

I have over 8 years of experience working in the field of social work, and over 13 working with children and families (Former Preschool Teacher). I have had the unique opportunity of working with diverse populations and in multiple different specialties including: Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT), Perinatal Day Treatment (dual diagnosis-substance use and secondary mental health), Foster Care, children’s mental health in a medical setting, adults, and children and family work in a community setting. I have the most experience working with anxiety/depression, life adjustment/transitions, family and relational challenges, and complex trauma and abuse. I also have experience working within the LGBTQIA+ and polyamorous communities. I utilize a person centered, trauma informed, multicultural, systemic and integrated approach to counseling. I primarily employ evidence-based techniques, including CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.

I help my clients understand their nervous systems, enhance emotional regulation, and increase insight. Through our collaborative work, clients can gain deeper self-awareness, alleviate feelings of anxiety, shame and guilt, and develop the skills to no longer be limited by the patterning, conditioning, stories, triggers, attachment styles and/or past hurts. I support my clients in being the expert in their own lives. I offer the courage to swim in deep waters and I cherish the uniqueness of everyone’s journey. I specialize in supporting those in non-monogamous relationships.

My modalities include drawing on solution focused therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, narrative, and gestalt; all in a trauma informed practice.

I believe that polyamory can be an identity to some and a choice to others and that it is a spectrum like many things in life. Polyamorous configurations come in many forms and can be descriptively or prescriptively hierarchal, egalitarian or solo poly, some who are ethically non-monogamous identify as Relationship Anarchists. I am comfortable helping people in any configuration, including poly-mono, quads, triads, and open format polyamory. I believe the client is the expert in their life and my role is to provide tools and skills to help affirm choices and authenticity. I am gender affirming, polyamorous and kink friendly and will meet you where you are at in your journey, whether it is opening up, seasoned in non-monogamy, or working through breaches of trust. I am able to help anyone over the age of 10.

Do you feel like you are sure about what you should do, but you “just cannot” get yourself to act? Do you see yourself acting out the same destructive pattern over and over again (i.e. lying awake at night worrying instead of going to sleep)? Do you feel like you are happy, but want to overcome emotional blocks to becoming the more sort of person you want to be? My partners and I do a form of counseling known as Internal Family Systems.
