A crisis or stressor can look and feel different to each person. The first step is to assess the situation, which we will do together. The next step is to de-escalate from the any acute stress or crisis. I like to use play, creative expression, coping skills, mindfulness/meditation, and distress tolerance techniques with people in crisis. Once we learn how to best manage the immediate discomfort and stress, we can move to resolving the root of the issue. This may lie in larger education, family, medical, performance, and environmental causes.

I am an MGH-Harvard affiliated psychologist with a psychotherapy practice of over 30 years in the South End. I work with adults, young adults, college students and couples. My goal is to ease your distress and help you live the life you want. While my background is in psychodynamic psychotherapy, I believe that each person's needs are unique. Thus, I draw on a wide range of approaches to help resolve troubling issues--self-defeating patterns, paralyzing anxieties, or feelings of dissatisfaction in relationships.

I find that most people who come to my office are in distress, and they want to feel better. First we try to ease the distress; then we try to understand more about what is causing it. Few things help more in this process than a relationship with a trusted and helpful advisor. Problems such as anxiety, loss, depression, poor self esteem, and difficulty in complex relationships can be solved given the right mix of time, talk, and support. Most people I see are grateful for the relief and valuable insight they gain into their own situations.

Worry, Anxiety, Trauma, Depression, Grief, Overwhelming Feelings, Relationship Disasters... these are but a few of the issues that may lead someone to consider a professional who can support and assist you with your core concerns. I specialize in treating the human condition from a holistic perspective, always honoring the uniqueness of each individual and respecting their way of "being" in the world. Our aim together will be to explore and find revelations, resolutions,and solutions. Using a psychoanalytic approach, we will bring to light the driving forces behind the repetitive behaviors that tend to keep us attached to repeated outcomes.

Feel lost? Feel stuck? Having a hard time coping with a recent trauma? Going through a life transition? Open to a more holistic approach to therapy? Unlike regular talk therapy sessions, which may focus on surface issues and provide short term comfort, my holistic approach dives deeper for longer-term healing. My unique approach addresses the body, mind, and soul as they are all connected in the healing process.

Therapy is a powerful tool that helps us heal from adult and childhood trauma and difficulties we are currently facing. Therapy helps us to develop new coping skills and helps us navigate life circumstances. We are often unaware that much of our early life experiences affect our self-esteem, the relationships we choose, how we interact with others, and our overall approach to life. My experience is in partnering with teens and adults to grow through and heal from a broad range of challenges and stressors, which can result in anxiety, depression, feeling isolated, anger, fear, worry, hopelessness, and other distress.

Currently seeing clients over Zoom. When face to face are permitted I will see people on Newbury St. I specialize in supporting men and fathers as they strive to become the best version of themselves. I tend to work with a lot of new fathers who happen to be former athletes. My background as a former high school and college athlete seems to serve our connection. My training as a therapist with a specialty in parenting, anger management and spiritual issues also informs how I work. The men who come see me want to channel their aggression in a healthier way and are incredibly self reliant and often have a hard time asking for help.

I approach each client with the assumption that you are coming to me with an intention to alleviate discontentment or suffering. I see my job as helping you articulate your reasons for seeking therapy, to understand the source of your issues, and to find strategies that bring relief. My style is interactive, with an emphasis on caring and supportive feedback. I expect the client to establish the agenda for each session, trusting that the client knows best what needs to be addressed in any given session. I emphasize psychoeducation about the role of, and differences between, thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

I am a clinical psychologist who works to help clients cope with emotional difficulties and achieve valued life goals. My theoretical orientation is cognitive-behavioral and my practice is guided by research. As a complement to traditional cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I often integrate mindfulness and acceptance-based techniques into my work. Therapy is a collaborative process and I work closely with my clients to continuously hone a plan to best suit their needs. I enjoy working with a variety of people, ranging from those who desire support in managing complex lives to those who have endured significant trauma.

In helping to work through anxiety and depression my approach fosters greater self-awareness as a means toward overcoming harmful behavioral and emotional repetitions. My clients are typically professionals or students struggling with stress and transitional issues.

I approach each client from a place of deep respect for their history,struggles and victories. Together we will clarify your reasons for seeking therapy, understand the source of your issues and develop strategies for recovery and relief. My style is interactive with an emphasis on caring and supportive feedback. I trust we can develop a treatment plan that is result oriented and differentiates between short and long-term goals. This will help make the therapeutic process cooperative and transparent so you will know when you have reached your personal goals and transformed the way you see yourself and the world.

**ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS WITH PPO PLANS NOW** Looking from the outside, things look pretty good. You're successful, driven, and high-achieving. But, you're feeling burned out, or it's hard to do your job and make important decisions under the stress you constantly feel. You feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and stuck, especially now. You want to make a change. You want to stop repeating the same patterns that aren't working anymore. But, you don't know what to change, how to change it, how to stop it, or don't have the time to add more to your to-do list. And on top of all that, you're surrounded by people, but still feel lonely.

The process of finding a therapist can be overwhelming. It is difficult know who could be a good match for you based on a brief profile or a photograph. Beyond this profile, I am here to answer any questions that you may have. My therapeutic approach is informed by my work as a faculty member at Boston University School of Medicine. I define my style as a balance of support, challenge, warmth, and authenticity. I believe in creating a safe place where clients can express their vulnerabilities and share their difficult stories in a space that is free of judgment.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in psychotherapy for adults with problems coping with trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and general life stressors. My therapeutic approach is personalized to address each individual's strengths, needs, and goals but grounded in gold standard, empirically-based treatment approaches. I know that finding the right therapist can be a difficult process - and it's important to find the right "match," both in terms of style and specialization. I offer free initial phone sessions so that we can discuss your needs and assess this fit.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 25 years' experience. My approach to psychotherapy is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients can be themselves. My clients include professionals and students who want to work on concerns such as difficult relationships, stress/anxiety, depression, conflict with family/friends, loss, difficult workplace situations, and codependence. I strive to help each client develop his/her own skills to reach their goals. I tailor my approach to each person's or couple's unique needs, to help clients develop more fulfilling lives and to feel better.

Life is often about change, and change can bring feelings of loss, grief, anxiety, exhaustion, or unsettledness. The challenge for each of us is to find the balance; how do we move through the most difficult times, process the places of pain and struggle, and also find the places of joy and the peace that are inherently within each of us? My approach to counseling is both holistic and mindful. Our emotional health is also connected to our physical health and our spiritual health. I believe that therapy is an interactive relational connection; it is not about a fixed goal, instead it is a part of a process of adapting and becoming.
