About
I strive to help each client utilize their strengths to improve their quality of life through a queer, sober, neurodivergent-informed, compassionate yet direct approach.
I am a Resident Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 2 years of experience in inpatient psychiatry, outpatient therapy, and programs supporting gender expression and identity. I provide trauma-informed, inclusive care for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, identity exploration, and trauma. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients can engage in emotional growth, self-discovery, and evidence-based strategies for healing.
I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lesley University and have training in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and motivational interviewing. My approach is humanistic and creative, helping clients build resilience, develop coping strategies, and achieve personal growth.
I am passionate about helping people reach their full potential in a non-judgmental, supportive environment. Clients can expect to feel challenged and encouraged to build self-esteem, recognize strengths, and move forward with confidence and genuine support.

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.
Relationships are not easy. Anyone who has been in a relationship for any amount of time will probably agree. But sometimes, it’s harder than it should be. The fighting, the screaming, the slammed doors, the loneliness, the isolation; these things do not need to be part of your relationship. All couples go through difficult times, but when there is more sadness and anger than there is happiness and peace, something needs to change. You and your partner deserve to work on your relationship and explore the possibility of a better life.
Couples counselors and psychologists at Thriveworks Boston can help you and your partner determine what problems exist in your relationship. This is not always an easy first task. Each person sees every disagreement differently. Agreeing on the problems that need work will take time. If you reside in the greater Boston area, an experienced counselor can help you with this important undertaking. Call us today to schedule an appointment at (617) 671-1264.
There are many reasons why couples experience difficulties. These can be caused by a number of different situations and circumstances. Some of these may include:
An educated and trained couples counselor will help you and your partner identify your most pressing issues, and then help develop a plan of action. There are many different techniques that a skilled therapist can employ to help you improve your relationship. Some of these methods may include:
Usually, a blend of methods and techniques will be needed to help a couple work through long standing issues. Changing unhealthy patterns of behavior is not easy, but it is possible. A skilled therapist will not be shocked by whatever issues you and your spouse bring to the office. We are understanding and skilled professionals. At Thriveworks Boston, our licensed, experienced couples counselors have both the patience and the clinical tools to help you and your partner.
Thriveworks counselors and psychologists are leaders in their field. We are very selective in choosing our therapists and find those with the best talent and experience. We pride ourselves on not operating with a waiting list for appointments. We have appointments available immediately, and many new clients can meet with a provider within the week of scheduling. We respect that you and your partner have not come to the decision to contact us lightly, and we want to be available to you when we are needed most. We are simply a phone call or message away.
We would be honored to walk with you on this journey of healing. Call Thriveworks Boston couples counselors at (617) 671-1264 and get your relationship back on track.
