The New England Center for OCD and Anxiety (NECOA) provides individualized care with evidence-based treatments, meeting each young adult where they are.

Our goal is to equip students with the tools they need to confidently face those obstacles.

I have a hard time saying no to people...I feel constantly overwhelmed, like I can’t handle my own emotions...Why do I keep making the same mistakes when it comes to relationships? If these thoughts resonate with you, you’re not alone. These struggles can make you feel stuck, questioning yourself and your worth, wondering if you’ll ever feel better. The truth is, you are not broken, and you don’t need to be "fixed." Therapy isn’t about becoming someone else; it’s about reconnecting with your authentic self, learning to navigate your emotions, and finding ways to feel grounded and confident again. Let me help you help yourself! I believe true change comes from within, and my role is to empower you on that journey. I use a personalized approach because I know therapy is not a "one size fits all" experience. Together, we’ll explore how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected to help you understand yourself better. Above all else, I want you to feel safe, heard and supported so that you can comfortably explore your feelings and experiences without fear or judgment. If any of this sounds helpful, let’s talk. Call me or send me a message to schedule a complimentary session, and let’s take that first step toward creating the life you want to be living.

Trying to keep it all together, and make sense of life? Feeling worried, confused, trapped and stuck trying to fix "it" alone or hoping things will get better? I suspect these feelings have been with you for a while. You're not alone. Usually, people don't seek help right away; many of us attempt to tackle our problems ourselves. We often conceal our emotions and thoughts, worried about others' judgements. Life doesn't have to look this way or be so challenging. You have the power to create change, and I can help you. My counseling is rooted in connection and understanding, creating a safe, authentic space for clients to explore their past, and future aspirations. Together, we'll embrace your uniqueness and work towards a more fulfilling life by fostering autonomy; building self-confidence; connecting with your emotions; and finding lasting solutions. I have an honest, empathetic, and direct style. I incorporate reality and cognitive behavioral therapy into my practice to encourage growth and change. I have experience in relationships, life transitions, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Your courage to get to this point is admirable, don't stop here. Call me or send me a message. Let's talk.

Healing begins with acknowledging the wound, not just with the intent to fix but with a deep willingness to understand and honor the pain. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, depression, or the weight of trauma, the first step is to meet their experience gently, with compassion and without judgment. In therapy, we don’t seek to erase these feelings but instead create a safe space where they can be understood and transformed. By listening deeply to the pain, we provide the foundation for meaningful healing and growth to unfold. Hope is at the heart of the therapeutic process. I work to help my clients reconnect with their strengths and see possibilities for a brighter future. Together, we’ll take small, meaningful steps toward overcoming challenges and building the life you envision. You are not alone, and I am here to support you every step of the way. Anxiety, depression, and trauma can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. Healing starts with compassion and a safe space to be heard.

True Essence Therapy utilizes a combination of experiential (Somatic Therapy, Art Therapy, IFS) and evidence based therapies (DBT, CBT, EMDR Therapy) to support clients building confidence in their life & relationships. We are open to all, though specialize in LGBTQ+ services. We love supporting folks in trauma recovery, with anxiety, with relationship themes, gender identity exploration, in exploring spirituality that is right for them/or not at all, in how to work support their neurodivergence, and how to feel more comfortable being your true self in the world.

My work is built on a foundation of the belief that everyone possesses health, sanity, and wisdom regardless of how disconnected they feel from it or the problems presenting in their life. I support clients tired of being pathologized and ready to become authors of their own experience through self-defined narratives of healing. For over 10 years, I served my community as a crisis counselor in various capacities and sat with folks experiencing the worst moment of their lives. I have yet to meet a person who is beyond help or "too much." Through my career, I have honed a unique ability to work with suicidal thoughts, addiction, anger and psychosis. You are not broken. You are not alone. From city streets to field medical tents in the mountains, I have seen the most extreme forms of mental anguish and learned even in the darkest nights there is always hope, beauty and resilience to be found. Let me help you discover the same.

"I feel unlovable and unworthy." "I worry about almost everything." "I don’t like the person I’ve become." "I’m overwhelmed by intense shame." "I often feel out of control and struggle to manage my emotions." If any of these sound familiar, I am here to support you. I believe growth begins with self-awareness. By understanding how the past shapes your present and challenging present, outdated beliefs that no longer serve you, we can empower you to live more authentically, in alignment with your values. I am passionate about helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. Together, we’ll work to address these obstacles, restore balance, and enhance your overall well-being. With compassionate curiosity, we’ll set meaningful goals and develop strategies to help you move beyond what holds you back, fostering greater flexibility. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. Tailored to your unique needs, I draw from client-centered, psychodynamic approaches, and often incorporate tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy(ACT), and DBT as appropriate.

“I feel alone.” “I don’t know how to maintain my friendships or relationships.” “I feel like I am not enough.” Choosing to start therapy can feel like a difficult step, but it's not one you are taking alone.

I strive to create a warm, open environment that feels safe and inclusive. I focus on your unique needs using techniques such as mindfulness, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and understanding different parts of yourself. You might feel hopeless right now, but together we can work towards your goals and the life that you have always wanted. Please give me a call or send me an email and we can talk about how I can help. I look forward to hearing from you.

Does it feel like your relationships are falling apart? Maybe things aren't right with your son or daughter? Maybe you are a teen who feels like your parent (or anyone for that matter) just doesn't get you at all. Maybe you feel upset all the time and can't put your finger on why. Maybe you have a child who feels this way and needs help working through it. Feeling disconnected from others can feel like we are living in darkness- overwhelming, scary, and unsure. Life is too short to spend it fumbling around in the darkness. I want you to walk through life, with the light on. When we walk in the light we feel more connection, clarity, courage, confidence, and can engage in clear communication. My passion is helping individuals and families find healing through trust in relationships, especially helping teens navigate the challenges of adolescence. I also love to work with clients of any age, who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. If this sounds like you, please call me or send me a message. I'd love to hear from you!

I am passionate about working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma as well as those struggling with eating disorders, ADHD, and youth/young adult specific challenges. I am here to walk alongside you as you connect with your true self and embrace a life that aligns with your values and goals. Please call or send me a message to start building the confidence and resilience needed to lead a fulfilled, empowered life.
