About Me
Hi, I’m glad you’re here!
I’m a licensed clinical social worker in private practice, offering a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin making meaningful change. My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, gain clarity, and build practical tools that support your emotional well-being in everyday life.
I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, identity exploration, and feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Whether you’re managing ongoing stress or feeling ready for deeper personal growth, therapy is a space where you don’t have to figure it out alone.
My path to this work began with a passion for mental health and advocacy. After earning my Bachelor’s degree, I worked in a residential group home and provided In-Home Therapy. These are experiences that continue to shape my belief in meeting people where they are and supporting real, lasting change. I went on to earn my Master of Social Work from Bridgewater State University in 2021.
Since then, I’ve continued to grow as a clinician through my internship and ongoing work as a therapist, developing a trauma-informed, person-centered approach that emphasizes collaboration, authenticity, and empathy.
At AC Counseling Services, I focus on creating a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward the life you want. Together, we’ll work to untangle what’s holding you back and build a stronger foundation for your mental and emotional health.
I accept insurance and offer accessible care to help make starting therapy as simple as possible. If you’re ready to begin, I’d be honored to work with you.
What to Expect
Our goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered
When you choose AC Counseling Services, you’re choosing a therapeutic experience that is personalized, empowering, and confidential. Together, we’ll create a safe space where your unique story, needs, and goals guide our work.
The first few sessions will consist of assessments and treatment planning. During this time, we’ll explore your therapeutic goals, review your personal and family history, and get a sense of what you’re hoping to achieve.
Importantly, we’ll also collaborate to determine if we’re a good fit to work together, because a strong therapeutic relationship is key to meaningful progress.
As we move forward, ongoing sessions will focus on what matters most to you. We’ll work side by side to develop strategies that support your well-being and help you build a life that feels aligned with your values and aspirations.
