Therapists for college students near Boston College
Often, a significant source of suffering lies in thoughts and feelings that exist outside of our awareness and have not yet been able to find full expression. Psychotherapy offers the unusual opportunity to be listened to deeply and to learn to listen to ourselves in new ways. Exploring and developing insight into your inner life can lead to change—feeling better about yourself, shifting seemingly intractable patterns that have kept you stuck, and developing a greater sense of agency and fulfillment in your life. My practice provides a safe setting in which this exploration can unfold. I'll work collaboratively with you to help you make sense of distressing feelings and thoughts, gain insight into your experiences, and develop a more authentic relationship to yourself and to the world. I have advanced training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, and my work is influenced by psychoanalytic and trauma-informed approaches. I see adults and specialize in a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, complex trauma, and relationship difficulties.

I am a psychologist working at CampusCare Counseling. We do offer services exclusively to undergraduate and graduate students. As a therapist, I am committed to helping clients feel empowered to grow and make meaningful and value-based changes in their lives by providing a collaborative and therapeutic space. I value cultivating an authentic connection with my clients that emphasizes compassion and empathy. I strive to create a safe space for vulnerability, curiosity, and self-exploration while also incorporating skill-based work informed by acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectic behavior therapy (DBT).
Looking for support during a life change? Feeling stuck? Then let's talk. Clients say I bring calm attention, humor, & creativity to all my engagements and that I help them center, increase awareness, build resiliency practices, and recalibrate communication & action patterns that have gone off-track. I specialize/trained in mindfulness, somatic, expressive, and nature/outdoor, CBT, EMDR, DBT, multicultural and trauma-informed therapy to treat children-to-elders navigating life transitions and all the thoughts, feelings that can arise when we feel overwhelmed/stuck. A unique part of what I offer is to meet outside for walk-and-talk sessions and to explore ways that Nature can be a resource in our healing and grounding process. Nature reminds us that stability during change is possible and that we always connected to larger things in this world, seen and unseen. In the spirit of Rumi's quote "what you seek is seeking you," let's work together to move you toward whatever is searching for you.

September 2025 update: I have very limited availability for in-person sessions, but a little more availability for online sessions. I'll help you to become aware of your painful feelings and to learn to tolerate them, so that you're free to make choices instead of just reacting to life. I am a licensed, independent social worker. I have worked my way up to the management level of an agency, but interacting directly with clients is what I enjoy most. I have experience working with clients who have many different types of concerns, such as eating disorders, anxiety, depression, addiction, and interpersonal problems. I tailor my treatment approaches to the needs and wants of my clients. (If you have some knowledge of treatment approaches, these approaches include psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and motivational interviewing approaches). Besides my Master's in Social Work, I also have a PhD in English, so I am particularly interested in helping clients to use their reading or writing as therapy.
