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 specialize in working with neurodivergent and/or queer teens and emerging adults and with people who identify as LGBTQIA+, consensually non-monogamous/polyamorous, or kinky. Many of my clients struggle with depression, general anxiety, social anxiety, ADHD, feelings of low self-worth, or chronic pain/health challenges. Ioffer individual, group, and relationship therapy virtually and in my office.

Clients who benefit from working with me have wanted to work on some aspect of themselves, like improving their sense of self worth, finding their own voice, trying to understand why their relationships typically don't work out, or simply just trying to cope with the day to day. I welcome all walks of life in my virtual office and work hard to continually check my biases, decolonize my practice, and reduce harmful language.

Many people come to a therapist when exploring their life path. Finding an affirming provider who can support you in your exploration is key to living your fullest life. I work with many clients exploring identity, life changes, health concerns, and complicated family dynamics. If you want a therapist who is affirming and knowledgeable about LGBTQIA+ issues, poly and kink relationships, health at every size, social justice and self-compassion you have come to the right place.

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Most folks begin therapy with me because they feel stuck in unhelpful patterns of communicating, they struggle to feel understood or supported in their relationship, and they want to navigate conflict and challenging emotions with greater ease.

I also specialize in working with stepparents and parents who are navigating a non-traditional family structure.

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.

Yes, the state of the world right now is overwhelming. But to be honest, you've felt this way a long time: anxious, uncertain, despairing. Do you respond by trying to do everything perfectly, plan five steps ahead, never make any mistakes? Do you have a persistent feeling of "not good enough" that follows you from work to relationships to family? Is your mind often racing with thoughts about what you could have done better or how you disappointed someone?
