I completed a one-year internship at Harvard Medical School/Cambridge Hospital and a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in Marriage and Family Therapy.
Choosing to pursue therapy is a difficult decision but one that can offer great benefit. I work primarily with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, and problems in their interpersonal relationships. Often clients I work with report feeling "stuck" in their lives. My approach is practical and present-focused yet grounded in the an understanding of the ways our past experiences may have contributed to our present difficulties. I help patients explore and work through what gets in the way of them leading a meaningful, satisfying life.

I specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, childhood -present traumas and recent life adjustments: loss-grief, relationships, marriage, divorce, parenting and stressors within employment, school environments, etc.
It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client and caretaker alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of stress, sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.
