Feeling stuck replaying the same painful patterns—whether in your relationships, with anxiety that won't quiet down, or grief that's reshaped your world? I work with couples and individuals who are tired of feeling this way and ready to find a path forward. Maybe you're navigating trauma, depression, a major life transition, or just can't shake the sense that something needs to change. Together we'll explore what's really keeping you stuck and create space for genuine healing. My approach is compassionate and shame-free—a place where you can be honest about what hurts and discover that even small insights can spark deep, lasting cha
Using psychodynamic therapy, EFT, and EMDR, I work with couples and individuals—including analytical types like engineers—who are ready to make sense of painful patterns and work through trauma. Together we'll build the relationships and self-understanding you're looking for. My approach combines deep insight with practical strategies, grounded in curiosity.
I also lead No One Should Grieve Alone, an in-person group in Cambridge where people can process grief together in a supportive space. Grief can feel isolating, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I help participants navigate their pain at their own pace, making room for connection, healing, and a renewed sense of meaning. I have in-person openings!

The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not 'get over' the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again, but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to.
