More about Jewel

  • LMHC

As a licensed therapist in Massachusetts, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, trauma recovery, and interpersonal challenges. With over a decade of clinical experience, I focus on helping clients heal from past experiences and develop resilient coping strategies.

My practice centers on attachment dynamics, caregiver wellness, and supporting individuals managing chronic health conditions. I bring a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that honors each person's unique journey and inherent strengths. I'm particularly committed to creating an affirming therapeutic space for adults and those experiencing significant life transformations.

My clinical work is grounded in understanding the intricate connections between emotional experiences and life circumstances. I aim to collaborate with clients, empowering them to build meaningful strategies for personal growth, emotional regulation, and holistic well-being. Together, we'll explore your experiences with empathy, respect, and genuine care.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
