Boston, MA 02116
My practice focuses on issues such as relationships, self esteem, adaptation to life situations, work/life balance, and workplace problems.
The most important factor in choosing a therapist or counselor, once you have established their credentials, is to select someone you are comfortable talking to. Research shows that the quality of the relationship can be more important to the outcome than the treatment modality. For this reason, I try to establish an understanding, collaborative and interactive approach, and I am happy to offer an initial phone consultation at no charge, before setting up our first meeting, You should always feel free to ask me any questions you may have.

As a therapist, I work with adults who may be coping with new or unexpected challenges in their lives. I can help clients who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or frustrated, while navigating difficult emotional experiences that may cause significant distress. I specialize in supporting women who are coping with anxiety and/or depression, daily life stress, self-esteem, interpersonal relationship conflicts, work/life balance, life transitions, chronic medical illness, and parenting related issues. Together, we discuss mind-body connection, strengthening coping skills for stress management, and fostering resilience and empowerment.

I work with adults and adolescents in a safe, person-centered environment, to successfully navigate issues that diminish life satisfaction.
Today’s world is defined by opportunities and challenges that didn’t exist for our parents. The changing ways in which we approach identity, relationships, work, leisure, and education – the core of emotional and psychological fulfillment – can be as bewildering as they are exciting. Becoming the truest and best version of ourselves can be an elusive task in this ever-shifting and often judgemental, invalidating landscape. It’s no wonder all of us need help in one way or another.

Life can be challenging, and finding the right therapist can make the world's difference in your ability to feel connected and supported enough to make the positive changes in your life that you have been craving.
My ideal client has either experienced a past trauma and/or is dealing with anxiety or depression. This client can be someone diagnosed with ASD, as I enjoy working with neurodiverse populations. This client should want guidance and support to develop emotional regulation skills, build positive relationships with others, or process their emotional experiences. I can help support those going through various life transitions, as well as help people develop self-awareness and understanding.

With over two decades of experience, I have worked with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, grief/loss, cross cultural concerns, & transitions in older age.
Most of us do the best we can with the resources we have. Sometimes we think no one understands our worries & fears. If open to it, we want to work with a therapist when our usual ways of relating aren't helping & we feel stuck, anxious, angry or depressed. Therapy often helps provide insight into our strengths & internal resources we already have to help navigate challenging times. In sessions, I focus on working with clients to unlock this strength to steer their lives in the direction they want. I bring curiosity, warmth, respect, & empathy to my sessions.

Do you feel like your past problems, being cheated on, being left, and being emotionally and sexually abused have completely ruined you for love? Do you feel like no matter what you do you will always be alone in a loveless life or worse, you will settle for a person that's not good for you at all? The real problem is that you haven't made the shifts. When you make the shifts you'll have complete control over who you are with, you will walk away from low-quality people, and you will have defeated your inner dark world that brings you back to trash relationships and into that relationship of outstanding sex that's drama free.

You need therapy that will teach you concrete skills to help improve your life right now, not aimless therapy that only makes you feel better for the day. My typical clients are professionals who have come to realize that negative thoughts are keeping them from achieving their full potential at work and/or in their personal lives. Many of my current clients had tried therapy prior to seeing me and did not find it helpful as they did not get concrete skills to deal with distress.

I am licensed to practice in MA, NY, RI, and ME, and am available for virtual sessions. I use an integrative approach to psychotherapy, combining insight and skills-based frameworks. I help clients understand how their past experiences and relationships shaped and influence who they are now and how they experience the world (insight), and I help them develop tools for addressing current life situations and for putting that insight to work in moving their lives in the direction they want (skills-based). This approach helps clients link the past which formed them, the present they are living in, and the future they wish to experience.
