Counselor, LMHCOur clients are adults, youth and children who we serve in person in Hudson and Bolton, and in online sessions throughout the state of Massachusetts.
Just like any other group, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ) community faces mental health issues and unique challenges. However, LGBTQ individuals are almost 3 times more likely than others to experience a mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety. Additionally, more than half of individuals who identify as transgender experience depression or anxiety. The LGBTQ community is also at a higher risk for suicide. Young people are even more at risk, as they may experience a lack of support at home and fear, hatred or prejudice in school. If you are a member of the LGBTQ community and are facing mental health challenges, you don’t have to suffer in silence. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s LGBTQ experts and get help today.
I work with people from various communities, identities, and relational styles. My clients enter therapy with a desire to address individual, relational, or sexual concerns, and find the courage to create new lives and ways of being in the world. As there no 'one size fits all' in therapy, I work to create a therapeutic experience tailored to the specific needs, aspirations, and goals of the people I work with.

Our 1:1 therapy container will offer you a safe and sacred space to be seen, heard, and supported. Together we will offer space for the parts of you that have been waiting; the parts that have held their voice when told they were too loud, the emotions that have been stuffed down when told they were too big. Together we will welcome and invite all parts of you home and help them to feel connected and seen again.

I use EMDR therapy to help people recover from trauma. My preferred model of EMDR is the "intensive" model, in which we meet for a longer period of time per session (1.5 - 3 hours per session), for a smaller, total number of sessions. Research has shown that this type of approach can be very effective in helping people recover, and begin living their lives to the fullest once more.

My clients are motivated to learn about themselves and discover the things that interfere with their living their best life possible. Clients come to me with addiction issues and may be struggling with ambivalence towards changing, or are motivated to give up self-destructive patterns of behavior. Clients might be anywhere along the path towards coming out and stepping fully into their sexual identity.

As a family therapist, I am passionate about working with families and the problems that keep them from their ideal relationships. My work is generally with youth, their siblings, and caregivers. When any person in a family is struggling, it impacts everyone. If trauma has impacted a family, the strength of connection is often stretched thin. It is my hope to connect, or re-connect, youth and families to their resilience, values, and love.

I help clients experiencing trauma and PTSD, self esteem, anxiety, women's issues, grief & loss, and spirituality issues to heal deeply. I’m a millennial therapist with a modern approach. I will work with you, instead of nodding and "mhmm-ing" at you from across the screen. We can tie in spirituality (if that's your thing!) to connect to yourself more deeply.

Clients come to work with me for many different reasons. In general, they are people who are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. They may be dealing with stress, anxiety, or depression, and are looking for a safe and supportive space to explore their emotions and thoughts. They have a desire to better understand themselves, to develop greater self-awareness, and to create lasting change in their lives. They are motivated to work collaboratively.

My clients are people who are thriving in many areas of their lives while also feeling like they are quietly falling apart due to anxiety or thoughts about difficult things they have experienced in the past. They are people from a wide range of backgrounds, including people in the LGBTQ+ community, people in monogamous or non-monogmous relationships, people with rich life experiences to draw on, and usually people with a good sense of humor that may have gotten a little lost along the way.

You're smart and analytical but you can't seem to analyze your way around your painful feelings. So you end up feeling disconnected from others in your life, unsure about how to communicate and assert yourself, and frustrated that you can't think your way out of your problems. In therapy with me, we will tackle your challenges in new ways, with creativity and humor and emotion. We'll recognize your strengths and appreciate how you have learned to take care of yourself.

I am so grateful that you're here. Each person enters times in their lives where they benefit from support. Personal transitions, loss, stress, toxic relationships, pandemics...lots of things happen that make us feel out of control or helpless. We often experience these traumas while still reliving patterns from the past, making it hard to see a way through. If you are looking for support, feel ready to identify some of these patterns, dig in and move forward, then we might be a good fit!

I have experience working with diverse clients including LGBTQI+ and transgender clients. I strive to approach my work with clients through a lens of cultural humility and a social justice framework. I have experience helping clients to explore issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity exploration. I am able to write letters for gender-affirming treatments.

Some of my clients are working toward feeling more connected in their relationships. Some are working to heal from traumas of the past. Most are looking for an expert therapist, who having tried multiple therapists, need a more comprehensive, philosophically grounded, deeper, and richer experience of self-exploration and healing. My goal is for my clients to experience a connection they may have never felt that helps them build insight, understanding, and the courage and power to heal and grow.

Are you feeling stuck in patterns that leave you unfulfilled? Perhaps you are struggling to understand or embrace your full identity. Or maybe you just feel “off” and don’t know what to do about it. I work with teens and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, sexuality questions, relationship issues, gender exploration, body image, athlete specific issues, life transitions, and more. I can help you slow down and gain insight into the factors impacting your feelings and behaviors.
