We have immediate availability at our practice, Verge Therapy, for telehealth or appointments before 2pm. Please reach out to get connected with a provider today. I am a Master’s-level clinician committed to helping adolescents and young adults foster greater awareness of the self and the mind. I have worked with young people of all ages as a school counselor and as a community based clinician. I have experience working with individuals who are living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, experiencing life transitions or relationship and family concerns, and those who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

It is strange and often hard to be a human being. I walk alongside my clients amidst life's chaos to demystify each client's unique inner world. I encourage clients to get curious about their symptoms rather than to judge or condemn them. I am passionate about couples work in particular, as this is my current specialty/focus. I earned my MA in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, CA, where I studied dream/imaginal work & unconscious processes. My work is primarily psychodynamic & depth-oriented - striving to uncover what has been forgotten, digging deep, & viewing all parts of self as valuable

If you find yourself feeling anxious, angry, sad, frustrated, overwhelmed, and tired I can assist with tools to help you alleviate some of these symptoms. Many times we feel so overwhelmed that we do not have or find the strength to cope. We struggle to find solutions to either manage our daily life or a major life event, and we feel that our world just crumbles. Sometimes we have family issues, struggle with boundaries, communication, and find no direction or drive to change our lives. If any of these issues sound familiar, I can help you find balance so that you can live life in a healthy and harmonious way.

I am a clinical social worker with 30+ years of social work experience.My work with Individuals and families focus on building a strong foundation that can help weather life's stressors. I work with primarily adults 18 and older with Depression, Anxiety, Relationship Issues, Parenting, Life Transitions, Grief and Bereavement, Aging and Self Defeating Behavior. When confronting a major loss it is a shock to the body and mind. Working through the grief and pain helps you gain the motivation and confidence to learn to adjust to the changes. Developing courage and acceptance is a process.

As a Boston-area psychologist for over 15 years, I focus on mindfulness-based work with teens, parents, families with whom I facilitate healthy change and growth. I have clinical experience from various settings (hospitals, outpatient clinics, residential facilities & therapeutic schools). For over a decade, I served as the Clinical Director of the Manville School at Judge Baker Children's Center in Boston - a Harvard-affiliated therapeutic school program for kids with emotional, behavioral and learning difficulties. I also recently served as the Executive Director of the Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy (IMP) in Boston.

My “ideal” client is you! I welcome pretty much anyone who needs help. Psychotherapy is always about the supportive relationship between therapist and client, no matter what the specific orientation of the clinician. We can approach the issue from any number of angles. These angles, or techniques, are: whatever works. Period. Whatever brings you relief. I will work very hard for you.

The stress of daily life can affect us in different areas; career, financial, relationship and family issues. As time passes, if we are not mindful of behaviors, things can fester increasing symptoms of anxiety, and depression. My approach is to unravel false belief systems, with either solution focused, and at the Client's choice, a psycho-dynamic, psychotherapy approach. Sometimes we need to look at the past. I believe it is acceptable to focus on present day solutions. Overwhelming feelings can be a detour to our true authentic selves. Counseling is to effectively set, and achieve, goals to be our true, unique, authentic selves.

I offer free initial individual and couples consultations, in which I work with clients to identify their therapeutic goals in order to create greater self-awareness and personal growth. The focus is also in developing tools in order to better cope with any symptoms they are experiencing.
