I offer individual psychotherapy for stressed out professional women . Do you feel pressure to be successful at work, have a perfect family, a spotless home and maintain an exacting physical appearance? Are you pulled in too many directions with little energy left to care for yourself? I am passionate about helping people like you set your own priorities and find balance among your competing pressures. I help clients with challenges such as stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, family, career, life transitions, and relationship issues.

It's okay if you need healing and a way forward and have no idea of where to start. Maybe you’ve tried individual or couples therapy but it’s been more harmful than helpful because your therapist didn’t understand emotional abuse and toxic relationship dynamics. Applying tools intended for two healthy people doesn’t work when there’s a Narcissist and/or abuse present in the relationship. Working with someone who understands patterns of abuse can help you make the right decision for yourself. I am trained in Narcissistic Abuse and High Conflict Divorce Coaching. - I also work with Millennial Women on life transitions (website below)

Are you going through a transitional period and making changes, and looking for some direction and feedback? Are you feeling unfulfilled, unhappy, and uncertain of what your next step should be? I am here for you. I believe we all have a natural ability to heal and grow. I believe in the power of therapy to enhance your capacity for curiosity, self-compassion, self- understanding, and a deeper sense of self-worth. If you are curious about what therapy can offer you, I encourage you to trust your instinct and reach out.

Therapy can be an important aid in managing transitions, stresses, and crises. It can also provide a safe and supportive context to address longstanding struggles with depression, anxiety, or other concerns. I am a psychodynamically trained therapist who also utilizes cognitive behavioral and relational approaches. My clients describe me as attentive, supportive, and non judgemental. I view therapy as a collaboration between myself with my professional skills and training, and you with your knowledge of yourself and your desire for support and change. I am an authentic, active therapist who approaches therapy gently and directly.

I work with adults who want to live happier and more connected lives. Clients see me to alleviate anxiety and depression, navigate relationships, and adjust to transitions. As a former executive with an MBA, I have a particular interest in supporting women through career or relationship transitions, and guiding the balance of personal responsibilities. I see therapy not as a lifelong commitment but a helpful tool to develop insight through a collaborative, empathic, and supportive process. Clients leave energized and able to articulate, clarify, and achieve their goals.

You are tired of colleagues/coworkers making assumptions about you. You feel misunderstood by your family. You're constantly justifying everything from why you can't watch your niece this week to why you missed your sister's text. Work feels empty, but you can't change careers because of your parents' sacrifices. No one understands...not even your previous therapist. Almost daily, you struggle with feeling guilty. Guilty that you want to say "no." Guilty that you want more or need help. Guilty that you're irritable. Guilty that you should be happy when you have so much more than the people you love.

You’re constantly procrastinating and feel dread about even the little things because it’s all too much. You spend your time doing everything for everyone else, while neglecting yourself and never feeling like you have done enough. You worry that the plates in the air will fall, and everyone will realize you are incapable and incompetent. You feel like you are failing at everything, when, in fact, you’re killing it. It feels like a hard life is your destiny because of the trauma in your past. You want to break the cycle of that generational trauma, but you don’t know where to start. Sound familiar?

Therapy is an incredibly effective tool that can help you gain better self awareness and develop coping skills to support healthier thinking and to live a healthier and more balanced life. My passion as a therapist is to help women achieve a healthy, fulfilling, and balanced life. I have vast experience with women 's mental health from many years working at Massachusetts General Hospital. Specifically, working with women struggling with infertility, as well as those experiencing anxiety and having difficulty coping.
