As a mental performance coach, my passion lies in helping people get closer to their best more consistently. Having worked with athletes, exercisers, musicians, and tactical populations, I understand the challenge of having to perform at the highest level day in and day out.

In these times of uncertainty and change, I am offering a space of hope and connection. I believe that therapy is a space to be seen and valued fully - a space to slow down, reflect, and engage in vulnerability. My focus is to provide a warm and nonjudgmental setting where you can foster a sense of balance, purpose, and growth. I provide individual counseling for college/grad students and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, interpersonal challenges, and acculturation/immigration issues.

I believe that the most important relationship a person has is with oneself. In my work at Power Of Connection, I help my clients focus on self acquaintance and on deepening and improving their relationship with themselves as a bridge to other meaningful relationships in their lives. In a safe, non judgmental environment, we become aware of the way one feels, thinks, talks, and relates to him or herself. We explore and modify thoughts and beliefs while learning new tools, in a process that leads to a transformation in the way one thinks, feels and acts.

Are you looking for a therapist who understands and respects your personal values and commitments, including your religious faith and cultural background? I am a psychotherapist with 28 years experience in helping adults and teenagers to find solutions to such problems as depression, anxiety, trauma, work issues and relationship difficulties, and to pass successfully through such life crises as life stage transitions, grief and serious illness. My approach to treatment draws from a number of therapy models, including psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, Internal Family Systems,mindfulness and mindful self-compassion to create an individualized treatment plan for each client that respects his/her particular values.

The great psychologist Viktor Frankl said that we do not know our destiny until we work through the unique challenges that life puts before us. I will work with you to find ways to meet those challenges by helping you increase insight, improve problem-solving capabilities, and discover healthy ways to process or contend with difficult thoughts and feelings.

Psychotherapy can be invaluable in helping people recognize and change painful patterns of behavior. I work to create a space in which clients can face life's internal and external challenges with grace and humor. I offer over 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist working with a very wide range of adults and couples. I have worked in community mental health and hospital settings and am comfortable treating serious mood disorders. My office is conveniently located in Brookline between Allston and Coolidge Corner. Please call me at 617-739-1619 for a free phone consultation.

We may have the impression that the experience of time is too short to grasp and adjust to the continuous flow of changes and losses occurring in life. When reporting our life stories, the task of maintaining their cohesion is often far from easy, appeasing and satisfactory. It is my belief that therapy can offer us the opportunity to revisit, expand, rewrite or add new narratives that will support our journey towards more successful identities, relationships and endeavors.

If you are wrestling with uncertainty and confusion, and looking for a way to find more meaning and joy in your life and relationships, I would love to support your process. I work with folks of all ages coping with change and loss in many forms. I tend to relationships and family structures that feel unsteady and help you rebuild foundations, relocate lost strengths and resources, re-story your connection.

Struggling with life transitions, creative ruts, and relationships are difficult in any situation but especially so if you do not follow the heteronormative path. It can be difficult to open up to someone when you are not certain that they understand Queer and Alternative relationship structures. I use a straight forward and individualized approach with each client to build a therapeutic relationship based on specific goals. I focus my work around issues regarding LGBTQ+, sexuality, non-binary and transgender, complex relationships, power dynamics, sexual health, BDSM/Kink, and other alternative dynamics.

Everyone has the potential to better understand their own life. A therapeutic relationship offers a safe environment for discovering the obstacles that hold you back. I am here to provide that safe and welcoming place. I don't take insurance for one important reason. When you pay directly, I work with you and you alone. Come to sessions reassured that you can take the couch and say anything that comes to mind.

The first goal of psychotherapy is relief from distress, but it should also be about how you want to live and what you want your relationships to be. I specialize in depression and anxiety and have particular experience in working with problems around relationship difficulties, creativity and family dynamics. My approach is open and based on the uniqueness of each person. I work with you to discover how experiences have shaped the ways you see yourself and relate to others, sometimes in ways outside of your awareness.

I specialize in helping people with relationship issues, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. With over thirty years experience, my therapeutic approach is interactive, supportive and solution focused while examining life themes and emphasizing client strengths. I draw from a variety of therapies but in all cases I tailor what I do to the unique needs of the individual, couple or family.

I recognize that individuals seek mental health counseling for a variety of reasons. Thus, it is my mission to provide individualized treatment to help you meet your mental health goals. From daily stressors associated with social injustice and COVID to managing chronic and persistent mental illness, I look forward to joining you on your journey to your optimal mental health.

My ideal client is looking for an honest and supportive team mate. I am most comfortable working with folks who live with depression, anxiety, and/or eating disorders; although I have experience working with a wide variety of needs. I'm interested in earning your trust, getting to know the REAL you, and supporting you without judgment. If we can be authentic with each other we can make a plan to move you towards your goals. Of note- I embrace HAES, intuitive eating, and love collaborating with intuitive eating dietitians. To get to know more please visit twotruthscounseling.com.

NOT ACCEPTING CLIENTS AT THIS TIME**Similar to life therapy is a journey. And with all journeys, nobody deserves to go at it alone.

I currently direct and treat patients at the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders (CARD) at Boston University. We provide evidence-based clinical services - primarily CBT, to individuals of all backgrounds. CBT is a skills based therapy meant to enhance coping strategies for those suffering from emotional difficulties. It focuses on understanding the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to foster positive changes. At CARD, we specialize in helping adults and children address a wide range of anxiety disorders and related challenges such as difficulties with mood, sleep, concentration, and pain.

-- Not accepting new clients at this time -- Often, people have difficulty finding treatment that meets their needs. That is one of the reasons I have provided therapy for adolescents, adults and members of LGBTQ community for over ten years. As a licensed independent clinical social worker and certified photography art therapist, I work with individuals and together we determine effective treatment.
