I view my role as facilitating conversations with one's self, child, parent, or partner that are difficult to have at home.
Whether working with children, teens, adults, or families, I believe that most problems -and their solutions- are best understood in the context of relationships. I create a space where people can develop curiosity about thoughts, beliefs, and ways of interacting that feel constraining and move toward more preferred ways of being. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families presenting with a variety of difficulties including family/relationship conflict, divorce, depression, anxiety, and trauma.

Psychotherapy allows us to more deeply understand ourselves and our relationships. We can learn to move away from old patterns that can keep us stuck in life, shifting us into healthier, more fulfilling ones.

My approach to treatment is to create a space that is supportive and empathetic so that the client will be in a place to build rapport, explore issues that are interfering with their quality of life, and develop a better sense of goals and the means to reach them. I operate from a Strength-based and Cognitive-behavioral therapy lens with elements of other modalities.

We all encounter moments in our lives that test our capacity to cope, and may cause us to feel ungrounded or overwhelmed.

With sixteen years of experience working with adults of all ages, I have helped many individuals find their way through symptoms of anxiety and depression with gentleness and compassion. Often my work focuses on how we relate to ourselves and the world. By cultivating self-compasssion and challenging negative self perceptions, I believe we can begin to realize and feel our intrinsic wholeness. I also help clients to navigate interpersonal relationships and transitions, which can challenge us and impact our sense of community and our place in the world. Additionally, I focus on health, wellness and humor for psychological healing.

Often, we find ourselves stuck. We repeat ineffective and painful patterns of behavior, and think worrisome and self-critical thoughts. Our past creeps in and impacts our present functioning. We struggle with conflict and communication in our most important relationships. It takes courage to tell your story, whether it is your first time or you have previously engaged in therapy. It is a privilege for me to learn about, and partner with you in pursuit of your goals. I see therapy as a safe and collaborative space to explore yourself, your areas of strength and of growth, and your relationships, without judgement.

ACCEPTING NEW REFERRALS. 20 Years experience at Harvard Medical School/ synthesis of psychodynamic, DBT, CBT, behavioral therapy.

I tailor my approach based on your goals, symptoms, cognitive style and phase of the therapy.

I believe that therapy is sacred work. One of the central purposes of therapy is restoring or amplifying each person’s sense of agency and meaning in life. Done well, therapy shows us the stories we are living by and, in doing so, allows our motivations, thoughts, and actions to become less mysterious to us. Uncovering the stories we are living out in our lives provides a starting point for deep and abiding transformation. I look forward to accompanying you on your own path to increased agency, fulfillment, and meaning in life.

Today, I mostly treat depression, anxiety, trauma/grief, cross cultural issues, adjustment to college life, sexuality, relationship and parenting issues.
"A belief is not merely an idea the mind possesses. It is an idea that possesses the mind." Robert Oxton Bolton. We act based on our beliefs, and sometimes who we believe we are, and what we believe we can achieve might not align with the future we wish to build around us. And sometimes, we might not be even aware that we have those misbelieves. As a psychotherapist with psychoanalytic background, I am trained to listen to my clients in a unique way. In my private practice, I provide individual and couples therapy for adults and young adults.

Therapy can re-establish your direction in life and restore your hope. What is not working for you? Do you feel stuck between thoughts and feelings that contradict one another? I have years in clinical practice supporting people to better understand their life experiences and the feelings holding them back. I make it comfortable to talk about sensitive topics, like sexuality and difficult relationship problems. As we find recurring themes and self-defeating patterns, you will discover ways to overcome sadness, fear and other emotional obstacles. Problems, once confronted, lead to insights and new found strength, self- acceptance and freedom.

My work as an individual and couple's therapist rests on the belief that we all have inherent abilities to change and grow. When we feel safe and accept ourselves, we are more likely to be curious and open to make the changes we look for. I collaborate with clients to focus not only on their challenges but also on their strengths.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
