We all have turning points in our lives – moments that shaped who we are, how we understand the world around us, and our own stories. In I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (one of my favorite books), Maya Angelou says, “there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” As a therapist (and a human) I understand that our turning points in life are frequently moments of profound joy, pain, love, loneliness, etc., that live inside us as stories untold. I seek to help you unbear burdens and understand how critical moments in your life shaped the self that you are today. We will focus on healing past hurts, and developing skills, so that your present-day self and relationships are as healthy as they can be.

How I Can Help

I am warm, affirming, and patient, and, thanks to my “New Englander” upbringing I am also direct and authentic. Together, we will pursue the joys and challenges of growth in a safe and compassionate space. As Lori Gottlieb says, most big transformations come from hundreds of tiny, almost imperceptible, steps we take along the day. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you make these steps.
