As an Independently Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I view people through the lens of their intersectional identities, within the greater context of their environment. While therapy can sometimes be solely focused on the individual, even in one-on-one treatment, I believe it is important to examine the influences of the world around us on our well-being. I utilize a strengths-based, non-judgmental approach, and support you in gaining a greater understanding of yourself, your goals, and the step...

I’ve been part of the Harvard Medical School system for over a decade, first as a trainee, now as faculty member. I'm trained primarily in psychodynamic therapy, but principles/interventions from other paradigms also inform my work, and I love working with students. Ultimately, the nature of therapy depends on the patient, what they are up against, and their goals. For this reason, the course of therapy is difficult to describe, but I think it only ever works in a context of empathy, respect, an...

Hello, I'm Joelle. My journey in social work and counseling began in 2008 during my graduate studies at Boston College.

This experience shaped my understanding of resilience and the importance of mental health support in difficult circumstances. After several years in correctional mental health, I transit...
“Therapy can be many things: a space for unpacking, for healing, for curiosity, for laughter, for saying things you’ve never said out loud. My goal is to co-create a space where you can bring your full self, including the parts still in process. I work with adults navigating questions of identity, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, race-based stress, relationship challenges, and that deep sense of “something needs to shift.” As a Black woman, I’m particularly drawn to working with those whose...
Hello, I'm Heather, MSW, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. Life happens, and sometimes a lot can happen all at once. Relationship struggles, family planning, career changes, navigating academic life, death/loss, depression, anxiety, postpartum, gender and sexuality, family stress, illness, trauma, and COVID-19 are issues we all have experienced. Itâs easy to get overwhelmed by the enormity of significant life changes or even day-to-day routines, especially after a three-year pande...

Hello, I'm Courtney. I understand that it can be difficult to ask for help, as we may feel embarrassed or uncomfortable being vulnerable. Asking for help requires strength and courage and may be a journey through both darkness and light. It's important to trust the process, sit with our uncomfortable feelings, and accept our emotions for what they are. Vulnerability, shame, and fear may make it difficult to share, but know this is normal as we navigate change. There is a lot to be learned from o...
