Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“Empathic therapist providing psychotherapy via telehealth to teens, young adults, and beyond.”

About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Randolph, Massachusetts. I treat adolescents and families for life transitions, mood disorders, and stress or burnout. I provide online therapy, psychotherapy, and psychoeducation that teach practical skills you can use every day.

Approach

Sometimes pain is overwhelming, especially as a teen or young adult. You might be feeling sad, worried, or like no one else in the world understands. Maybe you are struggling in school or work, or having a hard time making friends. Or maybe you are in a difficult family situation, or are completely overwhelmed by what you want your future to be like. You may be noticing things like withdrawing from others or even physically harming yourself. Maybe you're a people-pleaser, and in trying to meet others' standards for you, you've forgotten how to please yourself. I am here to provide a supportive space to explore the underlying pain and establish new patterns. You'll have the opportunity to delve into your thoughts and emotions within a caring environment. Together, we'll strategize on ways to navigate the challenges you're facing, paving the for a more enjoyable and fulfilling life.
