I am a white, bisexual, cis gender female (she/her) Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts and also a Board Certified Psychosynthesis Life Coach (working with clients all over the globe). My approach is collaborative, compassionate, playful, and always respectful of you as a unique individual.
I have an integrative approach to my work. My private practice is made up of elders, LGBTQIA+ folks, activists, parents, artists, fellow therapists/practitioners, folks navigating dementia, and caregivers.
Often, at least a third of my practice includes coaching or counseling individuals dealing with post-concussion (Traumatic Brain Injury) issues, for which I specialize in.
I am told I have a warm, open presence. Humility, humor, curiosity, and relational engagement are key aspects of my natural style and my values. I have been doing parts work with clients since 2017 (Gestalt training, then Psychosynthesis sub-personality work, then IFS training) and am committed to my own daily practice of tending to my parts (and working with an IFS practitioner regularly).

I’ve been meditating (on and off) since 1991 (when I was 21 years old). I’ve sat over 50 week-long silent Insight Meditation retreats (and also practice with non-dual teachers as well as Dzogchen/Tibetan Buddhist teachers). My lifelong study of Buddhist Psychology fits naturally with IFS.”
