When I meet my clients for the first time, we may decide to seek solutions to ADHD, OCD, anxiety or depression. Parents may be looking for a resolution to a child's school under-achievement, home conflict or social disconnection. In each situation, my belief is that therapy supports skill development and fosters a sense of balance, or equanimity.
I strongly affiliate with cognitive behavioral approach to treatment (CBT), as well as acceptance commitment therapy (ACT). As a CBT and ACT therapist, my approach is distinguished by forward-looking, positive and goal-oriented approach, with the ultimate outcome of providing you with a set of skills toward improving your life.
I graduated from U Mass Amherst with a PhD in Clinical Psychology in 1998 and, since then, had a rich and varied career as psychotherapist, clinical and organizational consultant and director of adolescent and child programs. I have recently presented at regional and international conferences, on stress management, ADHD and CBT.

Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, OCD or ADHD and reach out for CBT or ACT approach, following the advice of their PCP or, sometimes, the advice of another clinician. We would work on clarifying vision for change in their behavior, emotional state or attitude toward thoughts. Such work involves acquisition of skills in managing internal experience, for example, mindfulness practice.
