Psychotherapy is a conversation that aims at a certain kind of change, and my primary aim as a psychotherapist is to support you in seeking the kind of change that you want to make. Sometimes this involves working to address your mental health concern, such as anxiety or addiction. Just as often, it involves thinking through your values and how you can best pursue them. Many times, it involves both. I bring a philosophical approach to psychotherapy and find that this resonates with many of my clients. If you think this may apply to you, please reach out for a consultation.
I have trained as a psychotherapist at several leading clinics, with a specialty in psychosis. I have expertise in widely-used and effective treatment modalities, including ACT. I am the author of books on free will, addiction, and mental health, I teach and write regularly on current questions in philosophy and psychology.
I offer free initial consultations in my office near Harvard Square, and also via telehealth. To get to know me and my approach, you might also read the regular blog that I write for Psychology Today on 'Philosophy and Therapy,' in which I discuss current topics at the intersection of philosophy and mental health.

"
My therapy style is based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on awareness of one's feelings and emotions, exactly as they are (that is the Acceptance part) and clarification and commitment to one's values (that is the Commitment part). I take a philosophical approach to ACT, leaving lots of room for developing an individual perspective on this work.
