Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in 02215

Sometimes when life gets hard, it is difficult to ask for help. I aim to provide a safe and welcoming environment that encourages feeling seen and being heard to make that first step a little easier. I am passionate about helping adolescents, college students and young adults understand themselves better and build on their specific strengths. Together, we will work on adapting and personalizing tools to assist in learning how to regulate emotions, explore why certain patterns of thinking and behaving exist, and heal past wounds.

With a warm, down-to-earth, and supportive style, I help clients work through challenges such as depression, anxiety, OCD, relationship difficulties, life transitions, academic and career concerns, and creative blocks. Whether we are working to help you become more flexible, mindful, and aware; reflecting on patterns that may be getting in your way; identifying sources of meaning and purpose in your life; or exploring aspects of your identity, my goal is to help you work through what brings you into therapy and to help you thrive.

I am currently accepting adult clients (age 18 and up) for telehealth/virtual only. My goal is to provide clients with a warm, safe and non-judgmental space to identify old patterns, gain insight, and work towards their goals.

I specialize in working with individuals with anxiety, OCD and other related disorders using exposure and response prevention (ERP).

I work with adults (18+) who have difficulty managing their emotions and who struggle with depression, anxiety, interpersonal problems, and problems functioning at work or school. I provide evidence-based treatments including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help my clients change ineffective behavioral patterns, develop more helpful ways of thinking, and accept difficult realities to build the lives they want. I also see clients with Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders through all stages of the pregnancy and parenthood process.

I am a Staff Psychologist at McLean Hospital and an Instructor of Psychology at Harvard Medical School. I earned my PhD at Boston University and completed my clinical training at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School. I have expertise in treating adolescents and adults with anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, phobias, panic disorder, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, self-harm behaviors, and suicidal ideation. My approach to therapy is active and collaborative and former patients have appreciated my kindness, warmth, patience, knowledge, and sense of humor.

I offer individual, couples & group psychotherapy to adults and adolescents, taking an integrative holistic approach to treatment. If you are navigating challenges with anxiety, OCD, depression, family/relationship conflicts, trauma, women's issues, low self-esteem, impulsivity, or a life transition, we may be a good fit! My expertise is in integrative psychotherapy, where I draw from a variety of modalities, including CBT, DBT, mindfulness, ACT, relational & strengths-based approaches to provide individualized treatment. If you have a spiritual practice or faith, I also incorporate your faith and spiritual practices into our work.

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.

I approach my clients collaboratively with a warm, accepting and compassionate attitude. I believe developing a trusting relationship is the most effective foundation to approach the hardships and mind habits we all face in life. I use specific CBT and Mindfulness skills to help my clients reduce symptoms and feel better soon. Anxiety, obsessiveness and depressed feelings can be significantly reduced while I teach clients how to govern the mind, creating new habits and strategies. As a practitioner of mindfulness who has attended many Insight Meditation retreats, I can share with you the benefits of attention from both personal and professional experience.

You, like all people, create narratives about yourself, others, and the world, and your psychology is made up of the stories you tell yourself. These stories provide you with maps for how to navigate relationships, both with others and with the many parts of yourself. Whether you have found yourself here on your own, or at the urging of a partner, friend, or family member, it is likely that at least one of the maps you’ve created isn't working anymore. Moving through the world with an outdated, limiting, or incomplete map might manifest as feeling anxious or depressed, interpersonal conflicts, unhelpful anger, etc.

We are all designed uniquely and live uniquely. Every person that we encounter is shaped by the interwoven threads of mind, body, and spirit as well as relationships, work, education, culture, community, and history. As such, Harbor Christian Counseling (HCC) seeks to care for the whole person through services that take into account this full range of formative influences. Caring for the whole person also means that we partner with our clients to address unwanted or problematic behaviors while gradually moving deeper to explore root issues that might be hampering growth.

You deserve evidence-based treatment that works. Together, we will identify and practice the skills that will enable you to effectively navigate a particular challenge, cope with situations or stressors that are outside of your control, affirm your identity, or meet a specific long-term goal.

Note: Accepting new clients again, starting in October 2024. As a tenured professor, I have firsthand insights into the unique, demanding, and often problematic professional institutions. My practice specializes in working with professionals, who are highly successful in many ways but have (had to) set aside and not been able to prioritize their emotional and interpersonal wellbeing. I have especially built an expertise in working with people of color, LGBTQ+ folks, and others, who have been historically overlooked by the traditional framework of professional institutions. I work with those located in MA, WA, and TX (online only).

I believe therapy means making you feel deeply known and accepted. My approach centers on harnessing your unique strengths in building the bridge between where you are and where you want to be. I appreciate how some old habits you have picked up at an earlier point may no longer serve you now. The process of understanding yourself with compassion and learning new ways of being in the world isn't always easy, but I'll be with you every step of the way.
