The process of finding a therapist can feel overwhelming at times. I invite you here to briefly pause, take a breath, and bring some awareness into the sensations of your body in this moment. What do you notice? Are there particular thoughts, feelings, urges present? Perhaps you notice some hope or frustration, tension or ease. Seeing if you can allow space for whatever may be coming into awareness to simply be as it is, observing it with some curiosity and compassion. When you feel ready, re-connecting to what brought you here, to this page, and to this moment.

I help adults break free from worry, fear, and self-doubt, especially high achievers who feel stuck despite their success. Whether navigating anxiety, past trauma, or neurodivergence—your own or your child’s—you are not alone. I love helping parents better understand and support their neurodivergent children or those with anxiety. Many of my clients or their loved ones have spent years masking their true selves, feeling out of sync, or struggling with shame. I offer evidence-based assessments, individual therapy, and parent support to help you gain clarity, demystify challenges, and identify the best path forward to thrive.
Our in-person Cambridge grief group is a place to process grief and connect with others who understand. Research shows that addressing grief during young adulthood is crucial for lifelong emotional well-being, helping prevent the prolonged pain and the “stuckness” that can come from unprocessed loss.

Feeling stuck in exhausting conflicts, worried about your young adult's emotional health, or facing struggles that feel almost impossible to name or share? I offer an affirming open space to tackle even the toughest challenges. With advanced training in Emotion-Focused Therapy for Couples (EFCT), I help partners break free from high-conflict cycles, rebuild trust, and nurture their connection. For teens, I integrate DBT, ACT, and mindfulness practices to strengthen emotional resilience, improve communication, and empower young people to more confidently handle life's growing complexities.
We are not meant to grieve alone. The company of others in a welcoming space of openness, curiosity, and care can be a powerful force for navigating the immeasurable pain of grief. This is a closed 10-week group for people who have experienced a loss in the recent or distant past, guided by a therapist who encourages self-reflection, expression, and discussion. The focus is on listening to and honoring one another’s stories rather than advice-giving, and on learning tangible healing practices to support the grieving process.

Is anxiety or depression preventing you from living a more fulfilling life? Are you feeling overwhelmed by a major transition? Are you unable to move on from an upsetting or traumatic past experience? I help patients change patterns of behavior that are no longer working, and learn new and more effective ways of coping and engaging with life. I believe that embedded in the painful crises that usually bring individuals and couples to therapy, there are also opportunities for self understanding and mastery that can be discovered and realized in a safe healing relationship.

After investing so much in your relationship, it can be devastating to see it unravel. With over 25,000 clinical hours under my belt, I’ve learned that healing happens when we get beyond surface issues and into the core of what’s breaking you apart. I have a very interactive style and combine warmth with a no-nonsense, direct approach that challenges you to confront destructive patterns and gain the insight and skills needed to finally carve a new path forward. Although I love working with couples in all seasons of their lives, I specialize in working with couples in long-term committed relationships that feel stuck.

As a Credentialed Grief Educator and Counselor, Certified Pet Loss and Bereavement therapist and Ordained Pastor, I try to provide guidance to those going through the pain and sorrow of loss.
By understanding the profound, spiritual, heart-based connections people make, I'm able to create a working rapport with those I companion. The grief support groups I guide also give critical help to the bereft. Each person's grief, as they mourn the loss of whatever they loved, is unique. Special attention to seniors and kids who feel loss very deeply.
This group is ongoing and is meeting at my Brookline office. Working in an empathic, non-judgemental, confidential atmosphere, we will discuss issues involved in the grieving process. I will try to organize the themes around the death of a loved one, family member or friend. These groups tend to be more helpful with regular attendance, but there will be some flexibility for people leaving and joining. I encourage you to call me to find out more and ask any questions you may have. 339-999-7250.

Grief Support Groups
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
