My strength as a psychologist is to deeply attend to each client's emotions, thoughts, and life context. If you seek to participate in therapy with me, we will work together to create a judgment-free and safe space. In my practice of therapy, I effectively balance exploratory and supportive therapy with the latest research and evidence-based interventions. I provide psychotherapy for older adolescents (16+), adults, older adults, college students, professionals, military-affiliated individuals, and couples.
Alongside my work in private practice, I teach psychology as an adjunct professor at Boston University and William James College. I completed both a postdoctoral fellowship at McLean Hospital, with a clinical appointment at Harvard Medical School, as well as an APA-accredited internship at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
I am happy to answer any questions you may have or set up an initial phone conversation to determine if we both think we might work well together to meet your goals. I offer daytime and evening availability. I also offer both in-person and telehealth (virtual) therapy. I look forward to hearing from you!

Body Image Therapy Group for Teens & Young Adults
Struggling with body image, comparison, or low self-esteem? You’re not alone - and you don’t have to figure it out alone. This 6-week in-person therapy group in Acton, MA is for teens and young adults (ages 16–22) who want a supportive space to explore self-worth, identity, and their relationship with their bodies. Participants will gain tools to challenge unhelpful appearance-related thought patterns, reduce self-criticism, understand how media shapes body ideals (and how to push back against them), and other topics. Led by a Harvard-trained psychologist. Call or email to register today!
