When clients reach out to me they often say “I feel down or anxious but I don’t know always know why, I have a hard time opening up to people, I recently moved or started a new job and am struggling with the changes, I want to develop health coping mechanisms”.
I specialize in supporting adults with anxiety, trauma, and coping with cancer/chronic illness. I utilize an integrative approach of Internal Family Systems and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have over 12 years of experience - first in the Trauma ICU at Brigham & Women's Hospital, at Dana Farber, and now in private practice.

Accepting New Clients-Life can feel really overwhelming at times, especially when you are trying to manage the daily grind, while also being present in your personal and professional relationships. When you have a busy and demanding life your personal relationships often take a back burner and it’s hard to deal with problems effectively in the moment. Sometimes it’s easier to numb out or avoid. But, eventually these habits leave you feeling more stressed and disconnected, and problems that once appeared small snowball into larger issues. You can find it difficult to stay regulated in your nervous system to respond how you intended.

Email preferred. Does life ever feel like a maze, with a dead end around every corner? Does it ever feel like the more you try to untangle the threads of your mind, the tighter the knots become? I compare my role as therapist to be a guide, someone who listens carefully and guides you through your unique maze, pointing out potential pitfalls and celebrating scenic views. I offer a calm space to allow you to open up, process your experiences, and take steps forward. For years I’ve worked with people who wrestled with grief over various losses such as death, divorce, chronic illness, unemployment and estranged relationships.

Have you considered the ways in which stress, anxiety, or other mental health symptoms have an impact?
I believe in creating a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental, and confidential therapy space that respects all identities and backgrounds where people can feel free to be their most authentic selves.
