I founded JHS Counseling with a simple belief: every child, teen, and family deserves access to compassionate, effective mental health support. Having worked with hundreds of Boston families, I have seen firsthand the transformative power of therapy when it is delivered with expertise, empathy, and genuine care.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, but it is also deeply personal. I understand that every family is unique, with their own strengths, challenges, and goals. That is why I take the time to truly understand your story and tailor our work together to meet your specific needs.
Whether you are a parent worried about your child, a teen navigating the challenges of adolescence, or a family seeking to strengthen your bonds, I am here to help. Together, we can build the skills, understanding, and resilience needed to thrive.

Every child, teen, and family deserves to be met with warmth, understanding, and genuine care. We create a safe space where everyone feels heard and valued.
We believe in the power of family. Our approach involves parents as partners, recognizing that lasting change happens when the whole family system is supported.
We focus on what is going well and build from there. Every child and family has unique strengths, and our job is to help you discover and amplify them.
Our methods are grounded in research and proven therapeutic techniques. We stay current with the latest developments in child and family therapy.

We start by creating a safe, welcoming environment where children and families feel comfortable opening up.
We take time to learn about your unique situation, challenges, and goals. Every family is different, and we honor that.
