Understanding who we are, what matters to us, and how we relate to others can be challenging at any stage of life. As a second-year master’s student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, completing a supervised internship, I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can explore these questions, feel heard, and develop greater confidence in yourself.

My background in teaching yoga shapes how I approach therapy. I’m especially drawn to mindfulness and somatic, mind-body approaches: noticing how anxiety, stress, and emotions show up in the body, and finding ways to feel more grounded and present. When appropriate, I integrate practices from Buddhism and other ancient wisdom traditions to increase your sense of inner calm.

I enjoy working with high schoolers, teens, and young adults as they navigate changing relationships, academic and social pressures, identity exploration, and the move toward greater independence. I also welcome adults navigating anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, and questions about identity, purpose, and self-worth. My approach invites exploration of the patterns that shape how we connect with others and how we treat ourselves, so you can recognize your strengths and make choices that feel more aligned with your needs and values.

With kids, I utilize play therapy strategies to help them have positive, fun, interactive experience in therapy. I focus on developing trust and safety so kids can navigate their emotional experiences in a developmentally appropriate manner through play.

I also welcome couples who want to understand the patterns between them and feel more connected. My couples work draws on graduate coursework and a recent training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and like all of my clinical work, it is supervised by a licensed clinician.

Before beginning my counseling training, I earned a bachelor’s degree in American Sign Language–English Interpretation from Northeastern University and worked as an interpreter for 10 years. I provide therapy services directly in American Sign Language
