Often, when people are reaching out with concerns about themselves, their relationships, work stressors, or worries about the future, they're often feeling stuck or at a loss about how to proceed. Many of these issues often have connections to other themes in a person's life that can feel challenging to parse out. As a result, while sometimes we know exactly what’s wrong, many other times all we have is the nagging sense that something feels “off.”

I believe that your own creative process is the arena for greater self-awareness. I am transparent and authentic in my responses and find this to be the cornerstone of my practice. I currently provide individual and group therapy. My work is rooted in body centered psychotherapy, bridging support networks specifically between clients and families, building skills for greater coping and supporting individuals on their journey towards personal growth.

I have been in practice in the Boston area for over 30 years. My approach is interactive, collaborative, and respectful. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral and Psychodynamic approaches to therapy.I see clients for both short-term and long-term psychotherapy dependent on their needs/preference. In addition to individual therapy I also work with couples.

Taking the first step in seeking therapy can feel overwhelming. It is a step that will be met with patience, kindness, and understanding. I offer a warm and empathetic environment where we can focus on you, your goals and your needs. As we begin to build our therapeutic relationship, I will be able to challenge you in reaching your goals through a strength based, solution focused approach. Through the use of cognitive behavioral therapy I can show you how your thoughts affect your feelings and behavior and we can work together to brainstorm ideas for making improvements to the parts of your life that have become overwhelming.

Thanks for showing up here. By doing the work to even navigate to this page, you are taking a huge step for yourself. We all have thoughts, feelings, & behaviors that keep us stuck in patterns that don’t always serve us or our loved ones well. The great news is that these patterns are learned from a variety of experiences, meaning they can also be un-learned with concentrated effort and a willingness to change. Therapy can be a liberating space where those patterns are examined and new perspectives that better serve us are developed over time. This work requires immense vulnerability, but this is often not a starting point.
