Parenting Therapists in Boston, MA

My approach to therapy is collaborative, strength-based, and client-centered. I believe in the healing power that exists within each individual, which is nurtured and strengthened within the context of our therapeutic relationship. I work with children, adults, and families who are facing complex struggles, including: parent -child relationship issues, transition to parenthood, postpartum difficulties, life transitions, behavior challenges, depression, anxiety, and more. My style is warm, empathic, and compassionate, and I work to create a safe environment to help you better understand and address the challenges you are facing.

I feel that I work best with motivated individuals who are curious about themselves, their relationships, and the kinds of struggles which interfere with their fully enjoying their lives.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over fifteen years of working with individuals, groups, and families. I believe that healing can come through the development of mindfulness, in the empowering of ourselves through self-awareness, the constructive exploring of our relationships with others, and taking the time to create peace and clarity in this complex chaotic world. During our time together, I hope to provide an environment for you to revive your joy, feel whole versus disjointed, and seek to create a balance between challenge and kindness for yourself.

Welcome! I am a clinical psychologist who works with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing emotional and behavioral difficulties. My style is collaborative and pragmatic; blending warmth and compassion with competence and expertise. While I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy for children and adolescents (including parent /caregiver coaching and family therapy) and Parent -Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), I believe in tailoring therapy to meet each individual’s needs and values.

I am a certified professional coach, speaker, educator, and co-Founder of ImpactADHD.com, an online resource for parents of kids with ADHD/ADD and other "complex" issues such as Anxiety and Dyslexia. I help parents radically improve their personal and family life by gaining new skills, increasing confidence, and bringing a "coach approach" to parent management.

I currently see the majority of my clients over Zoom. I am just beginning to have in-person sessions in Needham. I specialize in parenting issues, anger management and spiritual issues. I provide support to men and fathers as they strive to become the best version of themselves. I tend to work with a lot of men who are former athletes. My background as a former high school and college athlete seems to serve our connection. The men who come see me want to channel their aggression in a healthier way and tend to be self reliant and often have a hard time asking for help.

Active in approach, transparent in nature and collaborative in style, my practice will validate all it has taken for you to arrive at my door. Then begins the process of crafting a clear pathway towards a different experience of self. Supporting individuals and families in acquiring and sustaining the real skills necessary for positive behavioral change is what I do best, be it in my Cambridge office or in the front room of your home.

I have been a child & adolescent therapist for 49yrs., & I enjoy my work greatly. I also work with parents who want advice and guidance about parenting skills. Children can change much faster than adults, and that is why I love working with young people. I try to support their strengths, encourage their creativity, relate to them with warmth and humor. I also work with parents with children, and with parents with teens if teens want me to. I like the challenge of connecting with both children and teens, ages 4 to 20. Connecting requires intuition and open-heartedness.

Changing unhelpful behaviors and coping with difficult emotions is a lifelong challenge. We often feel stuck trying to solve problems related to our emotions, behaviors, and relationships. As a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in treating children, young professionals, and parents, I have extensive experience helping people get unstuck. My approach to therapy is based on curiosity, creativity, and problem solving. I help people identify and implement real-world solutions to their problems, develop and enhance their strengths, and apply evidence-based tools to live healthier and more productive lives.
