What does self-love and compassion mean to you? I provide a safe and supportive environment for clients to engage in self-exploration, self-empowerment, and healing. I believe that therapy is a space to prioritize your wellbeing, in order to show up for yourself and those you care about.

At Boston Center for Couples and Sexuality, we recognize that while all humans struggle with one issue or another, at one time or another, it can be difficult to seek help and support. Expectations that you might have of yourself or expectations that you think or KNOW others have of you can really weigh you down when life gets busy. Sometimes you know exactly what you need help with, and other times, things just don't feel right and you just aren't sure what kind of help you need. Our clinicians will listen, ask good questions, and look at problems with you to figure out how to get you back on the path where you want to be. We work with individuals and committed couples, as well as those practicing consensual non-monagamy. While communication skills and sexuality issues are a significant part of our clientele, we also work with many patients with depression, anxiety, or grief as their presenting complaint.

Did life throw a wrench in your plans? Are you about to feel the overwhelm that accompanies a big change in events? Are you feeling frustrated from being stuck in a self-defeating pattern?

The aim of my practice is to help reduce moments of suffering and discomfort while increasing moments of joy, connectedness and resilience. I focus on creating authentic, curious and challenging therapeutic relationships from which my clients and I explore and take on possible pathways to meaningful change. Shifting away from unhelpful patterns in our lives can be scary and overwhelming. I look forward to supporting you as you navigate the pain and joy that can come from the process of seeking positive change.

I offer a holistic approach that takes into consideration the interconnectedness of our physical, emotional, and social selves and am committed to helping individuals improve these aspects of well-being, as well as their relationships.

Accepting a few clients M-F, 9-5p. Telehealth only. Do you have "self-defeating" patterns that need to be addressed?
