About me

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker in Massachusetts with 20 years of clinical experience. My special interest areas include stress management, anxiety, grief/loss, coping with life transitions, conflict resolution, relationship challenges, self-esteem and mindfulness.

Life’s challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, and my goal is to help clients navigate these difficulties and cultivate a more fulfilling, authentic life. My practice offers a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. By providing valuable tools and and insights, I help foster self-awareness, build resilience, nurture emotional well-being and create healthy ways of coping with life’s stressors. My treatment approach includes providing a collaborative counseling space for clients to build on their strengths, express their emotions, heal, develop coping skills, gain insight and find solutions or strategies to better manage life's challenges.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, but investing in your well-being is one of the most meaningful forms of self-care.
If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

Holly helped me deal after a difficult work situation. She was understanding and provided useful information and suggestions. I’ve very much liked the sessions we’ve had together
