I see therapy as a unique opportunity to try out new ways of relating: with more honesty, more curiosity, more courage. I work with adults, couples, adolescents, and families of all sizes and configurations who are seeking greater joy, ease, and satisfaction in their lives and relationships. The search for a therapist may begin with a crisis or trauma, or might be a step in a more gradual process of self-searching and growth. Whatever brings you to this moment, you are likely hoping to feel different in some way than you do today.
Recurring themes in my work include anxiety and depression, relationship/family conflict and crisis, struggles with identity, loss, grief, trauma, fertility & parenting difficulties, spirituality, creative blocks, illness, immigration, and student issues. I aim to meet you where you are at, and I welcome exploration of racial, sexual, and gender identities.
I am a Harvard Medical School Psychology Instructor trained in psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive behavioral & mindfulness-based therapies, but I believe a strong sense of connection is the most important element in seeking a therapist. I am happy to help you navigate your insurance to help make therapy affordable. The process can be easier than it seems.
