About
I know how important it is to feel truly seen and supported, and I'd be honored to walk with you as you work toward healing, growth, and greater peace of mind, body, and spirit.
I am a Mental Health Counselor seeking licensure with 1 year of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life transitions, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and relationship or parenting challenges. I specialize in strengths-based therapy to help enhance self-esteem, explore personal values, and promote emotional healing. My goal is to help clients recognize triggers, develop healthy coping skills, and improve overall functioning.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Tulane University. I use the Gottman Method, dialectical behavior therapy, and emotionally focused therapy to support emotional healing, improve communication, and foster meaningful connections.
I offer a warm, judgment-free space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported. I understand how overwhelming it can be to seek help and invite those facing personal or relationship challenges to take the first step toward growth, healing, and connection.

Premarital counseling is a type of therapy that helps couples prepare for and build a happy, successful marriage. Premarital therapists at Thriveworks in Framingham, MA can help couples develop essential communication skills, identify potential conflict areas, and learn how to manage their specific relationship issues.

If there is a particular area that they feel needs to be explored further (for example, you note that you and your partner have very different spending habits and views on money), they’ll guide the conversation in the given direction.
Premarital counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and through Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
