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 6 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.

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.

[CURRENTLY FULL] Welcome! Do you have trouble loving and accepting yourself? Do you find it hard to feel a sense of belonging and connection with others? Therapy can help you to feel better about yourself, to feel freer to be your authentic self, and to form healthy attachments. I enjoy helping people who are experiencing: *Marginalization, oppression, exclusion *Conflict between gender/sexual identity and spiritual/religious beliefs *Breakups (including friendship breakups) *Difficult relationships that trigger shame *Chronic low self-esteem. I believe that behind all feelings and behaviors are stories which make sense.

Feeling overwhelmed with juggling multiple stressors and different parts of your life? Coping with unexpected life changes is hard. Therapy can be a helpful avenue to help work through stressors and acknowledge parts of self that can be resilient even in times of significant stress. I am active and collaborative in my approach to therapy where I encourage the balance of acceptance and change. We will search for ways to integrate self-compassion while emphasizing action steps for shifting thoughts, behaviors and emotions to help reduce the current intensity of stressors.

***At this time I am not able to accept new clients. I will update this page when openings become available.*** During this time of global anxiety I am available for teletherapy. Thankfully, most major insurance companies cover telemedicine, which is critical for maintaining connection and care as we face a period of isolation. In my work 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 work from an empowerment perspective to support individuals’ goals and their innate strengths. I believe everyone has the inner resources they need to thrive, and that my role as a therapist is to create a container for healing, growth, and joy. I strive to ground my work in an assertively anti-racist and feminist frame.

Something is wrong and you've been trying to fix it. Relationships are rocky. How can you get your needs met when it seems like everyone else's needs come first?

You crave a sense of belonging. And peace.
