A Harvard and Stanford trained clinical neuropsychologist and trauma therapist, my passion is helping individuals heal after trauma, chronic illness and major life changes. Has something happened and you just don't feel like yourself anymore? Do you feel overwhelmed trying to get through the day? Do you feel anxious, angry, or stuck? If so, you're not alone! People who have experienced major events and illnesses often feel frustrated, uncertain, and overwhelmed. They worry that this will go on forever. But there is hope. I can help you to focus your mind, process your feelings, and rekindle joy.
Together, we can collaborate to create a space of understanding and unconditional support on your path to wellness. I offer safe, inclusive, integrated treatments, supported by science, so you can make changes that stick and move toward your better life.
I provide compassionate, goal-oriented treatment, supportive therapy, and neuropsychological assessment. Clients typically tell me they feel better after therapy, but great therapy is about goodness of fit. To see whether we're a good fit, book a free 15-minute consult today by clicking on my website. I am accepting new clients and hope to hear from you!

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness-Based approaches in my practice. With CBT, we'll look at how thoughts and actions influence experience and learn to change what you're thinking and doing to improve daily life. ACT focuses on values, goals, and acceptance. I may begin sessions with a mindfulness exercise and encourage you to practice at home.
