Your story is your own. My job as a therapist is to create a space of understanding and acceptance where your story can be told, and personal examination and growth can feel safe and attainable. I believe that as an individual's understanding of their own thoughts and emotions increases so, too, does their ability to resolve conflict, heal from trauma, repair relationships, communicate effectively, and break self-destructive patterns. My collaborative role in this process is to provide active listening, empathetic reflection and observation, and attuned interventions specific to your unique needs and strengths.
My therapeutic approach is largely psychodynamic while also incorporating tools from cognitive and behavioral theories. I offer couple therapy and individual therapy to adolescents and adults. I partner with clients to help achieve their goals related to: depression, anxiety, grief/loss, relationships, stress, and life changes. Clients have described my style as nurturing and direct.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have completed two postgraduate training programs: Yale University School of Medicine Cedarhurst School, where I completed two years of training as a social work fellow, and Western New England Psychoanalytic Society's two year advanced psychodynamic psychotherapy certificate.
