Natick, MA 01760
I work with individuals and couples and provide parent support and guidance - in conjunction with child work and for parents whose child is seeing a different clinician.
I have experience helping people of diverse backgrounds and identities in various stages of life, including adolescents, young adults, middle adults, and older adults, as they explore issues that arise through transitions, losses, daily stresses, and changing relationships as well as experiences of grief, trauma, family issues, identity exploration, divorce, infertility, depression, and anxiety. Different phases of life can bring new challenges or raise old concerns that we thought were behind us. I assist people in exploring their current worries in response to specific goals as well as the desire for deeper understanding.

Waitlist for new clients
I love to work with kids and adolescents and their families. I believe people don't have "problems" but rather "challenges" they learn to move through or re-frame. Together we learn new ways of doing things; new ways of looking at things; find a new path of our own choosing that feels better than the one we were on; relate to ourselves and others in a healthier way; learn to smile and laugh more; find the things we are good at doing; make a contribution; stress less; be who we are meant to be, and love who we are as a person!

Life can feel overwhelming, whether our distress stems from not getting what we want, or getting exactly what we wanted and yet somehow still feeling unfulfilled. Anxiety, depression, or battling addiction can lead to feelings of frustration and hopelessness. The process of talking in a therapeutic setting is essential in cultivating self-awareness and obtaining the wisdom to make healthier choices. Each person is unique, and I am committed to finding what works best for every person who seeks my support.

Not accepting new clients
Currently only meeting with clients via telemedicine. In my practice, I focus on creating a calming space where reflection is welcomed. I believe in the importance of a space where you can fully live in the present moment with your thoughts and feelings. Life can be filled with hardships, challenges, and transitions. Within this space, I make it a goal to support all of my clients in finding their inner needs, wants, and strengths that often become dismissed through the chaos of life. I take a holistic, collaborative, and person centered approach as I fully believe the client is the expert of themselves.

My specialty is Children and Adolescents. The children I see often have difficulty with impulsivity and self-regulation; with anxiety, depression and low esteem; are unable to attend or focus. They feel the torment of social anxiety and isolation from peers. Often kids get so discouraged, disappointed or frustrated at school or home that they either give up and withdraw or resort to any number of behaviors that hurt them or get them into trouble. Inside, children want to do well, to succeed, to please others and to feel loved. This may seem impossible to them when confronted with so much overstimulation in themselves and in life.

I have been seeing adults, adolescents, and children in psychotherapy for fifteen years.
The human mind is amazing. At every moment, we are experiencing a complicated mix of emotions, thoughts, sensations, and memories. We notice some of these, but most we do not. Emotions, in particular, are often perceived only vaguely, or they can seem mysterious, foreign, or out of our control. Contemporary neuropsychologists have found that the decisions that we make are much more influenced by emotions, some of which are out of our awareness, than they are by our rational thoughts.

I also guide parents to help their children alleviate the most daunting mental health challenges.
Adolescence is possibly one of the most difficult times in one's personal development. But with caring support from family and friends, and in conjunction with therapy, adolescents can achieve greater self-confidence and resilience. Positive changes occur when a client and therapist work in concert to find new perspectives that lead to better paths. Through a better understanding of individual struggles and environmental factors, we develop tools for success that enables clients to become the best version of themselves. My practice is a judgment free, calm and quiet environment for clients to manage their concerns and challenges.
