Cambridge, MA 02138
My approach to psychotherapy is psychodynamic, focusing on developing insight and working relationally to better understand and change patterns. I also utilize tools and perspectives from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Narrative Therapy to meet clients where they are and help them progress toward their goals. I have deep respect for the lived experiences and wisdom of each person, understanding that everyone inhabits a world with joys, pain, and sorrows that can be difficult to navigate alone. I believe that relational work can be crucial to both inner and systemic change.

Wait List-please email or call to join wait list-Women are often faced with many challenges over the course of a lifetime. Navigating adolescence, motherhood, parenting, and life transitions (even positive ones) can sometimes lead to uncertainty, anxiety, mixed emotions, stress, and feeling overwhelmed. We all deserve to have support and knowledge to help us through these challenges so that we can feel better for ourselves and for our families. Mood concerns related to pregnancy and postpartum often go unrecognized and untreated. Most often, when recognized, these concerns can be successfully treated.

I am a licensed therapist specializing in a variety of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapies, Motivational Interviewing, and strengths-based, trauma informed care approaches, which I adapt specifically to help you find the empowerment within yourself to actively change your life in a way that works for you.
Pain from the past or present can seemingly paralyze movement forward, yet it can also be a great teacher. Therapy can be the catalyst for transforming our pain into courage, strength, and personal growth. There are times when indecision can feel overwhelming, we question our abilities or choices, or feel stuck, stagnant, or struggle to develop and execute a plan to adjust and grow. I believe that every human experience deserves validation and space for healing when needed, no matter how “small” or “insignificant” one might think it is.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
