About
Why does everything have to be a syndrome or a disorder? Maybe you're just interesting and cool.
I am a masters-level clinician seeking my LMHC with 2 years of experience supporting clients through anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life challenges. I work primarily with children and adolescents ages 8–18 and strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to be themselves. My approach is grounded in person-centered principles, emphasizing trust, empathy, and a strong therapeutic relationship.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Cambridge College. My work is influenced by humanistic and relational approaches, drawing inspiration from practitioners who emphasize unconditional positive regard, reflective listening, and gentle redirection to help clients explore their emotions and experiences.
I invite you to begin therapy in a space where you are seen, valued, and supported. Together, we will focus on your goals, strengths, and personal growth rather than labels or diagnoses. You are more than what you’re struggling with, and I’m here to help you better understand yourself and build skills for a healthier, more confident future.

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.
Thriveworks psychologists in Lexington, MA provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do. Finally, in some states in the U.S., they are allowed to prescribe medication.
Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Lexington is very individualized and specific to each client, which means that the duration of treatment is often varied depending on a client’s condition or disorder, the state of their symptoms, and their specific goals.
