Psychoanalytic Therapists in Boston, MA
What is healing? Healing is the process of realigning with your core self. It is returning to who you were before the trauma, chaos, and internal turmoil. You might be navigating trauma that you’ve never had space to process, emotional exhaustion that keeps resurfacing, or a sense of being “lost”. You've been asking: Who am I beneath everything I’ve had to survive? Why do I keep repeating the same patterns? How do I rediscover myself? You want to feel aligned and alive because something inside of you knows you’re meant for more than survival. The ability to move through life without the weight of the past shaping every decision

I work with clients who feel overwhelmed, lost, or stuck in cycles of anxiety, self-doubt, overthinking or people-pleasing. Many are navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, or changes in identity and are looking for a space to slow down and feel understood.

I am a relational therapist and a psychoanalyst. I graduated from The General Training Program in Psychoanalysis at the Mass Institute for Psychoanalysis in 2019. After 30+ years of experience, I have found that each patient is unique and requires an individualized plan of treatment. My patients and I work together on creating a plan that addresses both the current problem(s), as well as the longer term goals. I strive to be flexible, open and creative in listening to and addressing patient's concerns. My style is warm and empathic and I incorporate humor into the work whenever possible.

My practice is informed by a culturally responsive lens, rooted in psychoanalytic and family systems approaches.
I work with adults who are navigating change, uncertainty, or long-standing patterns that no longer serve them. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware, yet still feel stuck, emotionally drained, or disconnected from themselves or others.
I blend evidence-based strategies with curiosity and warmth, helping clients feel understood while also building the capacity for meaningful change. In our work together, I integrate reflection, practical tools, and psychoeducation to clarify emotional and relational patterns, so change feels intentional rather than overwhelming.

I believe therapy is a space where relationships can heal and self-understanding can grow—not just to ease distress, but to help you reconnect with hope, joy, and meaningful connection.

I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, and adults—whether individually or in couples and relationship therapy. I support clients navigating a range of experiences, including trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship dynamics, life transitions, gender identity and sexuality.

I find that most people who come to my office are in distress, and they want to feel better. First we try to ease the distress; then we try to understand more about what is causing it. Few things help more in this process than a relationship with a trusted and helpful advisor. Problems such as anxiety, loss, depression, poor self esteem, and difficulty in complex relationships can be solved given the right mix of time, talk, and support. Most people I see are grateful for the relief and valuable insight they gain into their own situations.

You're in the middle of something — a transition, a loss, a question you can't quite name. On the outside, life is moving forward. On the inside, something feels unresolved. You're not sure who you are anymore, or whether the life you're building is actually yours. You might have tried therapy before and found it helpful, but surface-level. You learned to manage. The deeper restlessness remained. What you're looking for isn't a coping strategy. It's meaning. A way of understanding yourself — and your inner life — that goes all the way down. That's what depth therapy is for.

I offer psychotherapy rooted within a contemporary and creative psychodynamic frame. Patients who come to me may be experiencing a broad range of concerns, including, but not limited to: grief, anxiety & depression, existential malaise, pregnancy loss, infertility, reproductive concerns, creative blocks, heartbreak, and relationship difficulties. These are also patients who want to understand, more fully, the roots of their suffering, find greater freedom, process deeply held grief, accept painful realities, and re-imagine their lives.

Some of my clients struggle to love well; others struggle with difficult emotions. But all of my clients juggle the sometimes contradictory demands of love, sex and vulnerability. All people want to feel safe and loved, but some are overwhelmed by the intensity of close connection. They want to feel known, but they are also allergic to intimacy. They want to feel attached, but they are also deeply distrustful of others. I also enjoy helping these clients in couples therapy to navigate the intersections of intimacy, vulnerability and sexuality. I work with a multicultural perspective, celebrating diversity of all kinds.

I teach and supervise at MGH and the Boston Psychoanalytic Institute
I am an MGH-Harvard affiliated psychologist with a psychotherapy practice of over 30 years in the South End. I work with adults, young adults, college students and couples. My goal is to ease your distress and help you live the life you want. While my background is in psychodynamic psychotherapy, I believe that each person's needs are unique. Thus, I draw on a wide range of approaches to help resolve troubling issues--self-defeating patterns, paralyzing anxieties, or feelings of dissatisfaction in relationships.
