Greetings! I’m glad that you’re here. I’m a clinical psychologist licensed to practice in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and 40+ additional states through PSYPACT, and I provide psychotherapy to adults (18+) through secure video calls. My approach as a therapist is integrative, relationship-oriented, and social-justice informed. I enjoy in working with folks who are interested in exploring relationship problems, family-of-origin concerns, power and privilege dynamics, self-compassion, grief, and caregiving tendencies.
I work with folks who are yearning for deeper connection to others or themselves. We all long for connection, while also fearing it. I encourage my clients to bring all parts of themselves into our work together. Come as you are!
To schedule a free, no-obligation 15-minute phone consultation, please contact me via email or phone. The purpose of this initial consult is to gauge whether there is a match between your needs and the services I provide. I look forward to connecting with you and walking alongside you on your journey. Inward and onward!
