About me
I am currently licensed as an LICSW to provide psychotherapy in Massachusetts and Connecticut , and have over 20 years of professional experience. We are wired to flourish in connection, authenticity, mutual empathy, and mutual empowerment. Seeking help and beginning your transformational journey requires you to be vulnerable. We will work together to create a safe non-judgmental space for you to explore what has brought you to therapy, and identify what you would like to change through our work together.
I specialize in treating complex trauma, grief, feelings of chronic disconnection, depression, anxiety, substance use, relational conflict,life transitions, career counseling and difficulty with self esteem. I am LGBTQIA+, ethical non-monogamy, and kink allied.
I use an eclectic person centered approach drawing from different theoretical orientations and treatment modalities based on your unique needs

Since the first day we matched she was professional and understanding of my issues. She offered plenty of options on how to schedule a session for Therapy, as well as gave me advice and her opinion on issues I brought up. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help.

Nina is my 4th therapist since i started my journey less than a year ago. I have been with her for 2 weeks now. She understands my needs and listens to me. Nina has not given up on me and is completely real. She tells me what she really thinks and makes me really think about things. She has been amazing so far.
