ESI Employee Assistance Group Therapists in Boston, MA
Much of my work focuses on helping patients understand what’s keeping them there and how to move forward with greater clarity. I’ve worked in community-based outpatient mental health settings and group private practice, providing individual and couples therapy. What I enjoyed most was building real, ongoing connections and supporting people through major transitions, relationship challenges, and identity shifts. These experiences shaped my ability to balance deeper emotional work with practical tools, while staying flexible and responsive to where someone is in the moment.

Whether on a journey seeking personal awareness, understanding and growth or dealing with major life transitions, traumatic events or relationship issues, my purpose is to help people achieve an improved quality of life.

Navigating life transitions, relationship struggles, or substance use challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. Whether you're managing anxiety, depression, trauma, or addiction, therapy offers a space to explore your experiences and develop tools for lasting change. I work with young adults, individuals, and couples, helping them break unhelpful patterns, build confidence, and move forward with clarity.

Many of my patients come to therapy navigating trauma, anxiety, or depression. Trauma, in particular, is something I specialize in. Trauma typically occurs when one encounters an event that completely obliterates their preconceived worldview. Processing trauma can be scary and confusing, but addressing it with someone who has no emotional ties to your previous history can provide much-needed catharsis. My approach is unassuming. Whatever trauma you've experienced, or whatever trauma you've caused another, will not be judged. Instead, these are experiences and emotions we can be curious about together and try to understand.

A guiding principle in my work is the belief that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance. Neuroscientific literature supports the curative powers of deep empathic attunement (limbic resonance) and the brain/body's ability to heal. As such, in addition to attending to you with the same level of respectful presence that I would expect in a therapist, I use both cognitive/emotional and body/mind tools to assist you in your healing. I think you will find me warm, genuine, empathic, and knowledgeable.

Life is a journey, and from time to time, we all face challenges that we would benefit from discussing with a thoughtful and compassionate listener. I am such a person, plus I own this practice.

I enjoy working with clients struggling with a variety of personal, family, and mental health issues. I have more than 30 years experience working as a therapist. My therapy orientation is eclectic though my foundation is psychodynamic and strengths based.

I am a culturally aware, kink-aware, LGBTQ+ affirming therapist who truly values diversity of identity and experience. I have experience supporting people navigating childhood trauma, attachment wounds, and relational struggles, whether romantic, platonic, or familial. I’ve had particular success working with individuals living with borderline personality disorder, mood disorders, and treatment-resistant depression, using a trauma-informed lens that meets you with care and curiosity. In therapy, we take time to understand how those experiences might be showing up now and make space to reflect, feel, and choose what to carry forward.

Physical and mental health are often intertwined, and that led to one of my specialties as a therapist: chronic illness and the impact chronic conditions can have on our mental health. This specialty came from a place of personal understanding and desire to validate the prevalence of medical trauma and the impact chronic pain has on our sense of self. While people often think of chronic illness as a physical illness, mental health diagnoses can also be considered a chronic illness. Often, the symptoms of one can exacerbate the symptoms of the other.

Many clients come to me because they feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, or the lingering impact of past trauma.

My role is to provide a space where you can be fully yourself, explore what's holding you back, and begin to envision a different way forward. Together, we'll work to ease emotional pain and reconnect with your strengths.

I have been in practice for the last 30 years. I see primarily adult individuals (that is persons 21 years or older). Trauma and PTSD represent the major focus of my practice. Trauma is a dysregulation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Such dysregulation is represented by the diagnoses of PTSD, Acute Stress Disorder, Depression and Anxiety among other disorders.
