Therapists in Boston, MA
I am licensed in MA and NY. I am straightforward, helping clients achieve behavioral change towards living in line with their values and priorities. I provide treatment that is founded on evidence based principles, meaning that I base treatment on knowledge gleaned from research and science while allowing for flexibility to accommodate to the individuals with whom I work. I am trained in a variety of treatment modalities and work from within an acceptance based cognitive behavior therapy framework. Balancing acceptance of our experiences and channeling our strengths towards behavior change is, I find, the most useful path forward.

Are you scared of the thoughts going through your head? Whether you’re caught in exhausting thought loops, struggling with food or body image, or feeling like there’s no space where you can fully be yourself, I want you to know: you’re not alone, and healing is possible. I’m here to meet you exactly where you are—with compassion, curiosity, and zero judgment. I know how loud the inner critic can get, how overwhelming it feels to be stuck in loops of anxiety, shame, or self-doubt. I work mostly with those struggling with eating disorders, OCD, trauma / PTSD and Substance use / addictions. I also help teenagers recover from OCD.

Having walked the path of recovery myself, I get how tough—and rewarding—getting sober from drugs and alcohol can be. I've dedicated my life to helping others navigate their own journeys, just like I was supported when I needed it. There’s nothing more fulfilling than seeing someone rebuild their life and find their strength again.

I am also very experienced in providing gender affirmation consultation and support, whether that's related to medical decisions and documentation, identity exploration, and more!

I specialize in working with clients experiencing trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, gender exploration, neurodivergence and life transitions. As a member of the LGBTQIA + community, I am especially passionate about serving my community. I firmly believe that self-discovery is a process that occurs throughout the life span, and that this process is deeply impacted by oppressive structures, as well as interpersonal and relational dynamics. I specialize in serving Queer and Trans folks. I celebrate gender and sexuality exploration in our work. I am conscious of intersectionality and the ways in which our multiple identities meet.

Do you ever feel like your voice doesn't matter? That you're "too much" or your feelings aren't valid? That you are unloveable? What if you woke up one day and believed that you were ENOUGH? We know life’s obstacles are unlikely to go away all together, but what if you could TRUST your ability to navigate them with more ease, curiosity and self-compassion? When there is a pattern of unwanted feelings, beliefs or behaviors developed from past trauma, EMDR is one way we can help change the lasting impact of those experiences.

It’s a brave step to begin psychotherapy. I've been a clinician for 20 years and my experience has given me a realistic view of the process. I understand that it is not easy and that it requires time, effort, and money. I know that it's not immediately comfortable to talk about your private life with a relative stranger.

Good psychotherapy helps you connect more deeply with what truly matters in your life. Feelings of being stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed can act as signals indicating a need for change. My role is to help you decode these signals, creating a collaborative environment apart from everyday life where we can understand them together, and to empower you to achieve the changes you desire. In addition to my private practice, I am Assistant Director for Psychotherapy Innovation at Mass General's outpatient substance use treatment facility and hold a faculty appointment at Harvard Medical School.

*Please note that I continue to be 100% distance based for the time being* It isn't always easy to reach outside of ourselves when we are feeling deeply lonely and experiencing extreme emotions. These are precisely the times, though, when it makes sense to try to find people with whom we can talk without too much fear of judgment or rejection. In my role as Therapist, I actively commit to strive to be one of those people; to meet you wherever you are emotionally, in a comfortable, confidential and respectful setting.
