Direct, honest, and always in your corner
I provide virtual individual therapy for adults (18+) in Massachusetts, with a focus on supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals, non-monogamy, chronic illness, sex work, and kink.
My approach is rooted in social justice, person-centered care, and the belief that you are the expert on your own life. Therapy with me is not about "fixing" youโbecause youโre not broken. Itโs about exploring, unlearning, healing, and finding what works for you in a world that is often too much. I have big opinions but bigger respect for your autonomy and I will always support you, even if we have different taste in books (although we may discuss problematic tropes).

I draw from a mix of therapeutic approaches, depending on what works best for you:
๐ฑ ๐๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐ฒ โ You are not a collection of symptoms. This approach centers self-acceptance, growth, and unconditional positive regard.
๐ง ๐๐ฑ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐ฒ โ Life is weird, confusing, and sometimes absurd. Weโll explore the big questionsโmeaning, purpose, freedomโwithout getting lost in existential dread (hopefully).
๐ ๐๐๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐ฒ โ Your well-being is connected to the world around you. Whether that means grounding in nature or just acknowledging that capitalism makes it hard to feel human, weโll work with that.

๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐ฒ โ Therapy should be strength-based, egalitarian, and politically informed. If the personal is political, so is healing.

I know that chronic illness, disability, mental illness, and the diabolical vibes of the world right now can make scheduling (and life in general) unpredictable. Thatโs why I keep therapy as accessible and low-stress as possible. I offer flexible scheduling and no pressure for a recurring appointment day/timeโbecause some days are harder than others. I also understand last-minute cancellations (I sometimes need to cancel too when my symptoms flare up) and wonโt penalize you for needing to reschedule. All appointments are virtual (video or phone). I'll be there when talking is helpful and will support from afar when it isn't.

Iโm a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts, with a masterโs degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lesley University. Iโm also a certified Ecotherapist and Reiki Master (because healing comes in many forms).

For those who are not using insurance, I offer an elective sliding scale, meaning you decide what fee works for you. I do not request any explanation or financial documentsโyou know what cost is realistic and accessible for you. I do not want money to be a barrier to therapy and I am always happy to work together to figure out how we make this financially feasible.
