Psychiatrist, MD
Brookline, MA 02445
I have more than ten years of experience helping people in my private practice since training at Harvard. I treat a wide range of adult patients. Many people are seeking help with anxiety and mood symptoms. These symptoms are often related to life transitions, patterns of interpersonal conflicts, unhealthy behaviors, and coping skills that have outlived their usefulness. The first visit is a consultation to clarify what the core struggles are.

I provide weekly therapy and work with patients to determine if medications can be of help. I do not believe that everyone needs a medication, but they can be useful in treating particular psychiatric symptoms. I will work with you in order to find the best treatment modality that meets your goals and needs.

Accepting in-person referrals: I work with adults who want to feel better but aren't always sure where to start. Many have reached a point where what they've been doing simply isn't working anymore. They may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, struggling to focus, noticing changes in their mood, or wondering whether medication could help. I don't believe in rushing to a diagnosis or prescription. We'll take the time to understand what's been happening, explore your options together, and develop a treatment plan that helps you move forward with greater confidence. My goal is for you to leave each appointment feeling heard and informed.

My patients often share with me that they look forward to their appointments with me as an opportunity to heal, to learn, and to grow in ways that were surprising to them. I am passionate about offering a holistic and inviting approach to emotional health treatment. I consider myself an integrative psychiatrist, and therefore utilize functional/precision medicine approaches with testing for hormone and stress levels, using HRV and DUTCH tests, to provide a comprehensive plan you. I attended medical school at Tufts University, and completed my adult residency program at Harvard Medical School (MGH/McLean).

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Psychiatrists
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.

When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.

Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
