I am a licensed therapist who works with individuals and couples of all ages and various presenting concerns. I work with individuals with mental health challenges, addictive behavior, or life-transitional issues (e.g. beginning high school/college, launching into adulthood, managing relationships, grief/loss, etc.). I help couples get to a place of connection where each partner feels heard, understood, and loved by the other. No matter what circumstances led us to where we are today, I believe that we all have the potential to be happy and content.
The Middle School Anger Management Group is designed to prevent younger adolescents from escalating to higher levels of interpersonal conflict within their home, school, and larger community settings. Members are more likely to have social skill challenges and commonly struggle in their school placements.

Group time is generally focused more on activities and cooperative group interactions.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults who have often had unsuccessful prior treatment experiences. They feel that my knowledge and holistic approach to treatment will provide them with a healthier pathway forward in their life. Although I have a depth of experience to share with my patients I value learning from them on a daily basis. To facilitate change I employ a range of focused DBT and CBT strategies that I also teach to younger clinicians who train with my practice. I have maintained a professional home for 30 years at Harvard Medical School where I serve as a Part-Time Lecturer in the Department of Psychiatry.

Most often people come to therapy because they are experiencing some depression or anxiety related to their relationships, work, or sense of themselves. Despite this pain, making the decision to enter into therapy is often difficult. It takes great courage and a certain amount of hope. It is important to find a therapist with whom you think you will eventually be as open and honest as possible; someone who is non-judgmental, and who can both give and accept feedback. I will take the initial sessions to help us figure out if we can be good collaborators in this undertaking.
Studies show that resilient teenagers display the following traits: emotional awareness and the ability to regulate emotions, control over impulses, having a positive outlook, flexible and clear thinking, empathy, self-efficacy (the “I can do it” attitude), a willingness to seek help when needed. This group is designed for all genders, ages 12-14 that want to learn CBT and DBT skills to increase the seven dimensions of resiliency listed above. With CBT and DBT tools, we will learn to reduce negative thoughts and feelings and to replace them with optimistic and realistic ones. This group will start on March 18th, 2020.
In my counseling work I provide psychotherapy for children, adolescents, adults, couples, families and groups. My clients include people struggling with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. My relational and existential approach helps me understand and connect with my clients. I believe that the intent of therapy is exchanging "symptoms" for "coping skills." To accomplish this transformation, we need to understand our past to shed light on who we are in the present, where we have the power to focus on present issues and make changes that will influence our future.

Life can place many demands on us and our lived experiences can make it even more difficult to manage these. Our thoughts and feelings can make it hard to breathe, find motivation to do things, or cope with situations from the past, current moments, or new situations. They can keep us up at night or prevent us from moving forward. It is not easy, but you have taken the first step in the right direction and it would be my privilege to be a part of it. In the beginning, concrete strategies are developed to help with current symptoms and then progress into understanding why these feelings and thoughts exist.

Unaddressed grief, especially in early adulthood, can lead to long-term challenges, leaving individuals feeling stuck. Grief isn't a one-time experience—we are called to revisit and process it with each major life transition. By facing grief early, we allow space for healing and growth, preventing it from becoming an emotional burden that hinders well-being over time. In a few weeks, we're launching an in-person grief group, "No One Should Grieve Alone," for adults in their 20s and 30s who have experienced loss. This group offers a rare chance to work through grief within a community of peers who understand loss.
