As an LICSW based in Western Massachusetts, I specialize in therapy for emerging adults, college students, and young professionals navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship stress, and life transitions.
I work with individuals who may appear high functioning on the outside while internally struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, people-pleasing, or difficulty balancing relationships, academics, work, and personal wellbeing.
My approach is collaborative and practical. Using psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and expressive therapies, I help clients expand their self-awareness, self-accountability, emotional resilience and inner confidence. Together, we explore how their relationships, family dynamics and current life stressors impact the way they move through the world.
Whether you’re navigating academic stress, career pressure, family conflict, relationship challenges, or major life changes, therapy can provide a space to slow down, feel supported, and to create meaningful change. I offer a warm and accepting environment where you can better understand yourself, strengthen your coping tools, and move toward greater balance in your life.
