Let's Connect (617) 870-6238
Finding the right therapist can be difficult, but once we get started you will see changes in your life as you learn new tools and perspectives to manage anxiety and increase self esteem. I have many years of experience resolving long-term depression, anxiety, social isolation, phobias, intrusive thoughts, low confidence and difficulty with decision making. I help couples who have issues with trust, communication & conflict resolution. My clients are people who have reached high levels of success in many areas of their life, but still feel that something is holding them back from living their best life.
I have many years of experience honing my approach to improve confidence and self-esteem, enhance or begin intimate relationships, decrease conflict, achieve professional goals and improve communication. I use techniques from the Gottman Method, as well as draw from my background in DBT and CBT training. I'm based in Waltham & Belmont and also work online.
Reaching out to resume or begin therapy for the first time can be a leap! I encourage you reach out to set up a time when we can talk by phone (at no charge) to see if we are a good fit. My goal-oriented, targeted approach empowers my clients to achieve their goals and lead vastly more fulfilling lives. I look forward to hearing from you!
