Hoarding Therapists in Boston, MA
You may be here because your life is feeling pretty messy right now, overwhelming, and hard. Or maybe you’re feeling stuck and you don’t know how to get unstuck. Or past experiences and past trauma affect your daily life and your relationships. Or perhaps your relationship is not where you want it to be, and you long for it to be better..but you don’t know what to do next. Would you like to finally feel less overwhelmed and actually experience getting unstuck, so that you can see yourself in a different light? With a clearer perspective, that feels empowering, accepting and self-loving, with more calmness, balance and ease?

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with advanced training at McLean Hospital / Harvard Medical School, where I specialized in evidence-based treatments for anxiety, depression, and OCD. I work with adolescents and adults who feel stuck—whether in cycles of intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, or in patterns related to stress, transitions, and life challenges. My approach is thoughtful, structured, and collaborative, helping clients build a personalized set of tools to navigate challenges and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I help individuals and couples navigate emotional challenges through therapy that integrates traditional approaches with music and expressive arts. Licensed in both talk therapy and music therapy, I bring over 10 years of experience working with diverse communities across hospitals, outpatient settings, and private practice, working with diverse groups of individuals with their unique challenges in life. My trauma-informed approach blends psychodynamic therapy and CBT to uncover deeper patterns and build practical strategies for meaningful change.

The stressors associated with relationships, career, and health can be difficult to navigate! Sometimes we can cope with this on our own and other times friends or family support us. Sometimes that just isn't enough; and we need an objective, nonjudgemental person who has training in counseling to help. I have many years of experience in individual and group therapy. My approach is active, genuine, and strengths-based.

Using compassionate and evidenced-based treatments, I help children, adolescents and adults: stop obsessing about food, their body image, or what they're eating; let go of chronic worrying and find stillness in amidst busy lives; feel more in control by better organizing their time and building routine (less doom scrolling); improve lifestyle behaviors (& lose weight). I also provide parent management training.
My style is warm, authentic, and non-judgmental. I find great meaning in the work I do, and I honor the courage it takes for clients to be vulnerable. I also find humor is an invaluable resource.

Emotional/psychological distress can originate and find continued expression in our bodies, minds, families, and communities. We tend to respond to such suffering in polarized ways that produce further imbalance. We worry, attempt to control, develop repetitive, troubling thoughts, or just obsess about our lives. Or we may do the opposite; avoid, isolate, refuse contact with situations we perceive to be dangerous, or check out entirely. Working relationally, I help my patients develop critical self-knowledge and build tolerance to the fear and distress that prevents them from committing to valued aspects of their lives.

Women (including trans and nonbinary individuals) face unique challenges across the lifespan, particularly during times of transition. Overwhelming emotions, irritability, anxiety, or low mood are all signs that a change is needed, quite possibly in the form of a skilled, compassionate therapist to help you navigate these experiences. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and perinatal mental health. I love working with college-aged folks (particularly the Brown University community) and couples as well.

You're the person everyone else counts on. At work, in your relationships, in every room you walk into. And yet, despite everything you accomplish, something won't let up: intrusive thoughts, anxiety that shadows every decision, the exhaustion of never fully switching off. Many of the people I work with are outwardly successful and privately carrying more than anyone around them knows. I provide a confidential, focused, and evidence-based space designed to support clarity, emotional stability, and meaningful, lasting change in both personal and professional life.
