As a licensed therapist in Massachusetts with over four decades of professional experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My practice centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space for clients navigating diverse personal experiences—including issues related to sexuality, identity, aging, workplace dynamics, and interpersonal relationships.
I bring a depth of understanding to challenges such as social anxiety, trauma recovery, self-esteem development, and personal growth. My approach is holistic and client-centered, focusing on helping individuals explore their unique strengths, heal from past experiences, and develop meaningful strategies for emotional well-being.
My therapeutic work spans a wide range of focus areas, including supporting young adults, addressing multicultural concerns, exploring attachment dynamics, and assisting individuals through midlife transitions. I am committed to providing empathetic, non-judgmental guidance that honors each person's individual journey and inherent resilience.

I had a negative perspective of therapy for quite some time and once I peeled off that layer of fear/ doubt and dove right in Ron helped me understand that there is nothing wrong with asking for help and talking about life's daily struggles. The guidance and direction I've received has helped me work on not only myself but also how I interact with others around me no matter the setting. I've been lucky to match with a professional, compassionate, and understanding individual and will strive to send the message to others to not be afraid of the negative stigma of therapy, it works wonders and I'm living proof of it! Sometimes all it takes is one person to change someone's perspective and that is the kind of positive outcome I've had since stepping into therapy.

Ronald restored my faith in therapy. My experiences before were a bit more rigid, old school if you will. My therapists did not speak my "language", but Ronald makes an effort to. He is warm and kind, understanding, patient, and down for whatever. All focus is on the patient and it is completely(!!!!) judgement-free.. Would recommend him to all of my friends

Ronald takes the time to get to know you, on multiple dimensions. He is an incredible listener, thinker, therapist, and human being with a deep well of experience.

A little over a year ago I was places with Ronald through Pride Counseling/Better Help. A cannot think of any counselor or therapist that I have had in the past who was able to balance the depth of our conversations with a lightness and humor that Ronald can. Having deep and meaningful conversation where I can be honest is such an important part of the therapeutic process for me, but also being able to laugh and joke can be just as important- and is essential for me, personally. This makes me feel so deeply grateful for Ronald in particular, and his incredible ability to listen carefully and respond thoughtfully AND to laugh along with me when that is what is needed. Fittingly, Ronald and I call many of our sessions "laughter therapy," and it reminds me that no matter what is going on in my life, there is always something to smile about.

I was skeptical of being able to engage in therapy through a virtual platform but the wait for in person sessions was very long so I decided to give it a try and I am so glad I did. My experience with Ronald has been incredible. I feel that he was able to make me feel supported as well as challenge me to think about my anxiety from a different perspective. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience and made me feel comfortable and confident.

Overall, Ronald is the best of the best and I am thankful he is my therapist.

Ronald is very welcoming, compassionate, and approachable. For anyone who’s had bad experiences in therapy (as I have in the past), or who might be apprehensive altogether, Ronald will make you feel very safe and comfortable to be yourself. He has a great sense of humor and takes a human-centered approach. For once I’m not dreading therapy sessions - I actually look forward to them. Ronald is not so prescriptive as he is a great listener who asks all the right questions to help you come to your own conclusions. I would recommend Ronald to anyone :)

Ronald is amazing!!! I feel like that is so much that I shouldn’t even continue this review but I am going to.
After years of floundering with different providers that were not a great match I have found a person who is on the same level as I am and one of the first things that he said that I will never forget is that we are all human beings.
He makes it extremely simple to start working on whatever you are there for, there is no judgment or the feeling of opinionated and Advising what you should do or constantly asking you well how does that make you feel??
If you are at a place where you know exactly what you were trying to accomplish and you want somebody who is extremely intelligent and intellectual with an amazing sense of humor, and it feels more like a person that is at the same level as you versus an authoritarian figure which I have never felt in my many years of going to psychologists and therapists. The feeling I get is that I am the expert about who I am and what I need and he is there to listen and work with me and I really appreciate how open minded and with a what a broad her Rison he sets. he’s very easy to schedule with he tries to make your life easier when it comes to everything and I have never since this before it’s wonderful wonderful wonderful wonderful!!! Very quick responses if you want to schedule an extra session or change something and very attentive and engaged at the same time as his perspective on things which to me is truly a very complementary skills and characteristic in a great mental health professional but also you feel like you were building a relationship with a person! I just could write forever about all the wonderful experiences and this is just based off of one session and a few text messages so please if you are looking for somebody in that world give him a try! While appointments last because I have a feeling he’s going to be completely booked very soon!
