Often we feel that happiness is just out of reach. We need to perfect something, someone, or ourselves to become happy. In a safe and confidential therapeutic setting, you can examine the problems which challenge you. Core beliefs about yourself and your relationships can change. As an experienced psychologist I help clients to act mindfully rather than react to life with self-blame, anger, or sadness. Learning how to find calm within yourself can take the place of the constant quest for external perfection.

My approach to psychotherapy is integrative and individualized, rooted in psychodynamic and relational approaches, while drawing on other modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques. I identify as an ally to the BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and disability communities and value working across the spectrums of gender, race, sexuality, and class. I work with adults of all ages and provide individual, couples, and group therapy. My style has been described as warm, empathic, and attuned.

I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW REFERRALS AT THIS TIME. If you find yourself stuck in a cycle of unproductive thought patterns that affect your everyday functioning in emotional and/or behavioral ways then therapy can introduce you to more effective ways to live your life. Finding a therapist who is supportive, present, understanding, and skilled in guiding you towards a more satisfying and fulfilling life is a positive step in that direction. It's a journey that's well worth taking in partnership with a professional you trust. Email is the preferred initial way to contact me.

Want to understand yourself better, feel balanced, reduce stress, & learn healthier coping skills? Therapy can help. Together, we can understand and work through your specific challenges for overall mental and emotional wellbeing. I provide individual therapy for adults experiencing stress, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, & relationship issues from a strengths-based perspective and trauma-informed approach. I specialize in using meditation, mindfulness & breathing techniques in therapy.

For over 20 years I have been providing patients with a safe space that is mutually created together through a trusting connection built to hold whatever you bring into therapy. My focus is on longer term therapy that is aimed at achieving real and lasting change in one's life. It is also my experience that once many of the initial issues are worked through, whether they are older emotional wounds or current relationship issues, that ultimately what will emerge are your own unique qualities that will allow you to flourish in all aspects of your life.

Often, a significant source of suffering lies in thoughts and feelings that exist outside of our awareness and have not yet been able to find full expression. Psychotherapy offers the unusual opportunity to be listened to deeply and to learn to listen to ourselves in new ways. Exploring and developing insight into your inner life can lead to change—feeling better about yourself, shifting patterns that have kept you stuck, and developing a greater sense of agency and fulfillment in your life.

I am a psychologist & psychoanalyst with more than 25 years of outpatient and hospital based experience. I provide individual and couples therapy for clients struggling with the full range of interpersonal and emotional issues that bring people into treatment. Active compassionate listening designed to get to the root causes of my clients' pain and suffering is at the heart of my work. I trained and worked at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts for many years and completed psychoanalytic training at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute where I am now on the faculty. Wit and warmth also come in handy.

I truly believe in chemistry. Too often, clients may leave a therapeutic relationship prematurely because they don't feel like they are making adequate progress or they get the sense that the therapist doesn't feel as though they are committed to change. Like in any significant relationship, I believe in "goodness of fit." I trust that you will know with whom you feel comfortable and you should let that feeling be your guide.

I am taking new clients! As a Latina immigrant and queer woman of color, I use a social justice-focused, anti-oppression approach to promote an affirming environment where clients can reconnect with their strengths and lineages. I work with clients on healing life experiences in the context of intergenerational trauma and systems of oppression. I specialize in working with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ clients, immigrants and children of immigrants, people with mixed racial or cultural backgrounds, and clients of all identities interested in working to end oppression.

I feel therapy is a modality for clients to tap into their own Human resilence. I appreciate the mind-body system. Life gives us challenges. As a therapist I will work with you to find your resilent capacity in a safe and compaaionate space. I will guide you in becoming more grounded and confident in yourself.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 15 years of experience providing psychotherapy to adults, couples, families and adolescents struggling with a range of interpersonal and emotional issues. My approach is gentle and compassionate and focuses on active listening, problem solving, coping skills training and gaining insight into how past experiences influence the present.

Having trouble adjusting to our current Covid-19 pandemic situation, loss, divorce, illness or life changes? Are you experiencing difficulties in your relationships, academic/work performance or creative endeavors? Going through a period of high anxiety or depressive symptoms? Have a history of trauma or losses that is interfering with the way you handle other things in your life? If you are motivated to feel better, make positive changes and improve the way you manage your difficulties and whatever circumstances you find yourself in, please do email or call me. I may be a very good fit and we can discuss together.

My purpose is to help individuals and groups become empowered to emerge as better versions of themselves, who are better able to reach their own goals. Healing and growth takes place in a safe and secure environment where we can cooperatively seek to understand your challenges and who you are in relation to them. I work well with adolescents, emerging adults, and established yet struggling adults.

Greetings— My practice focuses on Men, Women, & Couples who often have complex diagnostic pictures.

This kind of treatment allows you to develop and flourish within the security of the therapy relationship. Additionally, I work with people who are gifted and talented in the Creative, Engineering and Entrepreneurial fields.
