My goal is to co-create a trusting relationship that offers the opportunity to explore and change psychological patterns so that you can live to your fullest potential and happiness - problems such as anxiety and depression cannot truly be treated until we can articulate together what patterns give rise to them. We will also look at how to transform, heal, and grow in the here and now; to respond rather than react when caught up in overwhelming emotions or negative thought patterns. I utilize a non-pathologizing and practical approach that includes mindfulness, self-compassion, and childhood trauma recovery.

Everyone has days or moments that make us think, "Maybe I should talk to someone about this." It can be hard to look our lives in the face, but if you feel ready to take that first step, I might be a good someone to talk to. The pain that sends us to a therapist can feel unrelenting and unsolvable. The good news is that there are many ways to approach such problems. I am focused on helping you figure out what is really going on and how that affects you, look at what you are already likely doing to get by, and help you figure out even better solutions and relief.

It can feel overwhelming to be proactive about making positive changes in our lives. Everyone has their own complicated life circumstances related to family, work, relationships, and mental and spiritual well being. Therapy can be an essential tool to work to un-complicate these circumstances and focus on making happiness and wellness a daily priority. When we feel overwhelmed with worry or that it's impossible to accomplish daily tasks we feel powerless. I have been in this field for over 10 years and can provide a supportive and empathic environment in which we can work together on specific goals and changes for your life.

Many of my clients look capable on the outside but feel anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in painful patterns that do not easily change. They may be struggling with childhood trauma, cultural and identity challenges, relationship issues, life transitions, or the emotional toll of holding everything together.I work especially well with immigrants, multicultural adults, and high-functioning professionals. My own experience in the corporate world helps me understand the pressure beneath outward competence.Together, we work to understand these patterns, strengthen identity, and support meaningful healing and change

I am an experienced clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience in clinical practice. I have an empathic, non-judgmental style, and work to gently and clearly understand the feelings and experience of the person who is sitting in front of me. The basis for my work is psychodynamic therapy, a form of "talk therapy" in which the roots of present-day issues are identified by exploring earlier experiences that may be related. Through this processing of early experiences, emotional resolution of the experiences can occur. Through this therapeutic process, my patients live progressively happier, more contented lives.

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 or add new perspectives to the life story that will support our journey towards more successful identities, relationships and endeavors.

For 10+ years I’ve been part of the Harvard Medical School system, first as a trainee, now as faculty member. I'm trained primarily in psychodynamic therapy but utilize other paradigms too. While every therapy differs based on the patient and their goals, no therapy is effective without compassion, respect, and pragmatism, not to mention humor (sometimes life can only be laughed at). This is a perspective I lay out in a two-volume book, published by Routledge, "A Humane Vision of Clinical Psychology."
(Licensed in MA, CT, NY, VT, CO; Somerville office near Cambridge, Arlington, Harvard, Kendall, Lexington, Inman, Belmont, Davis).
