Working with clients in Boston
I earned my Master of Social Work at Boston University School of Social Work, with a clinical focus, so Boston is where I trained to become a therapist. I’m licensed in Massachusetts as an LICSW, and the state has stayed part of my practice ever since.
Los Angeles is home now, and my practice is entirely online, so anyone physically located in Massachusetts can work with me by video. That means the steadiness of a regular weekly session—without adding one more trip across the city to an already full week.
What Boston left me with
Boston and Santa Cruz both shaped me, and both show up in how I work—New England directness alongside West Coast patience. In practice, that means I’ll tell you honestly what I’m noticing, and I won’t rush you toward anything you’re not ready for.
Social work training also gave me a habit of looking at people in context. Your family, culture, work and circumstances aren’t background noise in therapy—they’re part of the story, and I don’t get to skip learning yours. That perspective sits comfortably alongside the parts work and attachment work I do now.
Life in and around Boston
Boston is a city of students, hospitals, universities and long commutes, and its pace can be relentless. The long, dark winters can make it harder to keep up the things that usually steady you. If you’re working in a demanding field or juggling school with everything else, it’s easy to run on autopilot until something gives.
If you moved to Boston for school or work, you might also be far from family and the people who knew you before—which can make a demanding season feel lonelier than it looks from the outside.
Video sessions can make therapy easier to protect when life is that full. There’s no travel time and no weather to fight through, and you can log on from wherever you have privacy in Massachusetts.
What we might work on
You might be carrying anxiety, stress and overwhelm, high standards that have tipped into perfectionism burnout, a heaviness that’s settled in quietly, or relationship patterns that keep repeating. Or you might simply want a place to understand yourself better. All of it is welcome.
I work with individuals and couples, drawing on Internal Family Systems alongside psychodynamic, attachment-focused and mindfulness-based work. My approach is warm, kind and with humor, and I’m an active therapist—expect questions, reflections and the occasional gentle challenge.
If you’re a student, my page on therapy for college students covers how sessions can continue between Massachusetts and California.
How it works
Individual sessions are 45 minutes and couples sessions are 60, all by secure video. You’ll need to be physically located in Massachusetts or California at the time of each session, with a private space and a reliable connection. My guide to what LCSW and LICSW mean explains how licensing shapes where we can meet.
Everyone starts with a free 15-minute consultation by video. If you’d like to see whether we’re a good fit, you can request a consultation, and my page on therapy in Massachusetts has more about working together anywhere in the state.
A few common questions
Are you based in Boston?
No. Los Angeles is home, and my practice is entirely online. I studied in Boston and I’m licensed in Massachusetts, so anyone physically located in the state can work with me by video.
Can I have sessions from work?
You can, as long as you have a private space where you won’t be overheard and a reliable connection. A closed door and a pair of headphones go a long way.
What happens if I move out of Massachusetts?
If you move to California, we can keep working together, since I’m licensed there too. If you move anywhere else, we’d plan a closing session, and I can offer referrals if they’d be useful.
