About
As a counselor, I create healing-centered spaces grounded in compassion, cultural understanding, and community care, drawing from my experiences in community organizing and clinical settings.
I am a master’s level clinician with 4 years of experience supporting clients through anxiety, stress, trauma, identity concerns, and major life transitions. I help clients build coping skills, resilience, and a stronger sense of emotional well-being. When meeting with me, you can expect collaborative, strengths-focused support that develops clarity and emotional resilience.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from William James College. My work is culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy. I meet clients where they are, combining clinical expertise with their insight to guide treatment.
Wherever you are in your journey, you deserve support that feels grounding, validating, and empowering. I am here to walk alongside you as you move toward clarity and healing. If you feel ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to support you in that process.

My go-to approach for helping people in teen counseling is building trust and rapport. This is a huge benefit due to teenagers feeling comfortable in opening up about their own true selves.
I teach the following tools in teen counseling:
I know a client is making meaningful progress when they can tolerate difficult emotions in a healthy manner.
Clients can supplement their time in teen counseling with engaging in an activity that does not involve technology in any way.
To prepare for their first teen counseling session, a teen can simply show up!
Teen counseling helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst teens include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problematic relationships with food.
Teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the teen’s unique needs — based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in Framingham have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
Signs that teens might need Teen counseling can be very subjective, as they are experiencing many changes and can have intense reactions to them. As parents, you know your child best and are best equipped to judge whether certain reactions are standard behaviors for your teen or whether they might be hinting at a larger problem. Even so, there are a few common signs and events that often point to a need for therapy, such as experiencing divorce or loss, grief, consistent low moods, teens distancing themselves and becoming isolated, losing interest in hobbies, excessive anger or irritability, substance use issues, and suicidal ideation, among others.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in Framingham, MA offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of teen counseling depends on your teen’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
