"I help clients from the pre-teen years to adulthood struggling with concerns such as mood, trauma, and relationships in a safe and nurturing environment. I am here to listen, support you and provide feedback on life's challenges. My goal is to learn more about your preferences and personal experiences so we can together build your strengths and abilities."

"While currently I am not taking new individual clients, I am taking new group clients. I see the client - therapist relationship as a partnership. In our sessions we will explore your story, your strengths, struggles and losses together. Drawing upon a variety of theories, including relational, transpersonal and cognitive behavioral theories, I bring a creative and compassionate approach to my work with people. With over a decade working in the area of addiction and dual diagnosis, I understand that it takes time to change. I also work with family members and the family system around the addictive behavior."

"Life can feel like a roller coaster full of twists and turns. You may lose track of your goals and rely on unhealthy coping skills to help you, including over/under eating, excessive exercise, self-deprecation, doubt, isolation, irritability, over-thinking, increased impulsivity...the list goes on. During these times you may experience tough transitions ranging from the loss of a loved one, sudden change in career and/or relocation, acculturation challenges and/or traumatic experiences that result in confusion, pain and other emotions you may feel flooded with. I am here to help you process and make sense of your ride."

"*NOTE: I am not accepting new clients for ongoing counseling - however, I DO have openings for those seeking gender affirming surgery referral evaluations.* It would be an honor to help you on your journey of personal growth & change! We'll focus on where you're at and what you need, while helping you make connections and fostering insight for change. I will approach treatment with respect for you, your history, and your identities. I appreciate working with people who are ready to take a closer look at themselves and their interactions/relationships with others."

"When we're working together, you'll feel some challenge, but you'll also have my support while your life's improving. I'm inquisitive, thoughtful and thought-provoking; my clients often tease me about silly metaphors (see the pizza allegory on my website). All our work is personalized for you. As we work, we'll review and tweak together, so your therapy is both more satisfying and more effective."

"My practice, Kids Get Social, is a speech-language pathology clinic offering social skills instruction and therapy for children with social-communication challenges. Therapy is held either in individual sessions or in weekly social skills groups. Children from ages 3-9 will learn a variety of social skills that are required for success at home, school, playdates, birthday parties, and other settings. Our therapy is specially designed for children with autism, social-communication disorders, ADHD, or for any kids that need extra help building social skills."

"I believe that the therapeutic relationship can result in positive change and increased awareness. I have worked with individuals who have experienced trauma, loss, anxiety, and depression. My hope is to create a safe, supportive, and empathic space in which my clients are able to do the work necessary to become the best version of themselves."

"I am a clinical social worker and sex therapist in Davis Square, Somerville with over 30 years of experience working with individuals and couples. I trained and worked for five years as a staff therapist at the Institute for Sexuality and Intimacy, formerly at McLean Hospital, Harvard Medical School. I also have expertise with eating disorders, anxiety, performance issues and more. Clients say I am warm, compassionate and practical, and provide a comfortable, relaxed and safe environment. My approach is eclectic; I collaborate with each client to find the right treatment approach uniquely tailored to his/her/their needs."

""Not accepting new clients." Life can be challenging at times and cause us to feel stuck, unhappy, and overwhelmed. We sometimes may feel confused and discouraged on how to improve our lives. In the midst of these difficult periods, we may benefit from having a supportive space to explore what makes us unhappy, challenge ourselves, gain insight, learn new skills, and explore new ways of being. I am happy to meet with you to figure out if I can be the person who can support you in this journey. "

"CURRENTLY I HAVE TWO SLOTS FOR COUPLES @ 4 pm WED @ 5 pm THURS. The personality match, style of working, experience, availability and location are all aspects to consider when looking for a clinician for you or your family. When deciding to seek out psychotherapy support, people are propelled by intolerable feelings of anxiety, anger, loneliness and depression, or concerned about uncomfortable relationships with family, friends, or work, or are emerging from stressful situations, such as the loss of a job, a divorce, or life changes. Currently I am working primarily with couples who are seeking relationship help."

"I believe healing comes from a grounded, non judgmental, collaborative relationship that explores mind, body, and spirit. I provide a safe and welcoming space for my clients to be truly seen and heard. I am committed to compassionately witnessing and guiding my clients toward their full potential of well being as they find healing, acceptance, growth, and change."

"*** At this time I am not accepting new clients. I will update this page when openings become available.*** I am dedicated to supporting clients who are facing challenges related to anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. I see therapy as an opportunity to identify goals and problem-solve the roadblocks that have stalled obtaining them."

"I specialize in helping children, adolescents and young adults build social skills and find healthy ways to cope with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, peer conflict, and family conflict. As an outreach and school based clinician with more than five years of professional practice, I know that buy providing a bedrock of consistency, positivity, and honesty, the therapeutic relationship can help children, adolescents and young adults increase insight, awareness, and a deeper understanding of how they experience their emotions. "

"I work with a wide variety of people at various stages of change. I’ve been part of the Harvard Medical School system for the past 5 years, and currently teach and supervise HMS trainees. I am trained primarily in psychodynamic therapy, though principles/interventions from other paradigms inform my work as well. Ultimately, the nature of therapy depends on the patient, what they are up against, and their goals. For this reason, the course of therapy is difficult to describe. But generally speaking, I would be a good fit for someone looking to understand and change established patterns, and to find relief from associated symptoms. "

"I know that struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and/or significant life transition can take a major toll on daily life. Feeling exhausted, lonely and stuck only add to this vicious cycle of frustration leaving nothing feeling quite fulfilling anymore. It can feel difficult to find your voice and completely consuming to attempt to wade these waters by yourself. Learning to love ourselves in our darkest hours can be one of the hardest things we will ever face leading us to question our worth. I am here to help you tap into your inner wisdom and self-compassion, and begin to create positive movement in your life. "

"“Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, going through a transition or needing support resolving a particular issue you need to feel heard and understood. I feel that healing and change are most readily achieved in a compassionate, non-judgmental and supportive environment. I have worked extensively with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, loss and trauma. My emphasis is on identifying strengths and working collaboratively to increase awareness, coping ability and well being.""

"Hi and thanks for visiting my profile. It's a huge step to reach out to a therapist for help. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially since most of us are doing so during a time of stress or crisis. Whether you are coping with loss, depression, anxiety, trauma or adjusting to changes in health, school or career, I can help. I can help you develop a plan to implement positive changes for the quality of life you deserve."

"I work with individuals who are experiencing difficulties in their lives due to transitions, low self-esteem, mood disorders and anxiety. My approach to therapy is both goal oriented and insight oriented. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy that is person-centered and strengths-based. I use mindfulness-based techniques to help clients calm their minds, focus on the present and connect with their physical bodies. I believe that clients know themselves best and, through partnering with clients, I help them to live their best lives. "

"Have you lost someone close to you, whether through divorce, a breakup, or death, and find your grief taking over your life? Are you questioning your sexual orientation or gender? Are you experiencing post-traumatic stress symptoms? You don't have to do it alone. I work collaboratively and compassionately with my clients to help them come to some kind of peace with whatever they're struggling with. I believe that everyone has a strong inner core that can get eclipsed by traumas both large and small. Together you and I would work to find and reclaim that core."

"For some time now you’ve noticed that life’s difficulties are building up and as a result taking a toll on your true self and creating separation in your relationships. This may be due to a blend of things, both controllable and uncontrollable, and affecting several areas of your life. Until now, it has been manageable on your own, or within your family, but you're realizing you could benefit from outside help. "
