Infertility Therapists in Brookline, MA

I am now providing therapy via telehealth only. As a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years experience working with individuals/couples, I often see patients who struggle with unsatisfying family and personal relationships, health problems (e.g. infertility , cancer, chronic pain), grief and loss, and trouble with work and career. Change involves both insight and actual changes in one's behavior. My goal is to create a place where we can work safely to explore the origins of problems and rapidly create positive change in one's life. My approach is warm, supportive, and actively focused on bringing about lasting change.

I have experience helping people of diverse backgrounds and identities in various stages of life, including adolescents, young adults, middle adults, and older adults, as they explore issues that arise through transitions, losses, daily stresses, and changing relationships as well as experiences of grief, trauma, family issues, identity exploration, divorce, infertility , depression, and anxiety. Different phases of life can bring new challenges or raise old concerns that we thought were behind us. I assist people in exploring their current worries in response to specific goals as well as the desire for deeper understanding.

I treat an array of ages and psychological issues from anxiety disorder to behavioral challenges with children, adolescents and adults. I am processed oriented and offer skill building strategies to enhance self-awareness and foster positive change.

I believe that good Supervision is a conduit for mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. Having worked with individuals, couples and families I have seen my clients grow and change in the most positive and rewarding ways. In my practice I work closely with people to identify the changes they want to make in their lives. We then focus on the strengths that have helped them thus far and the challenges that have held them back. Effective supervision brings deep understanding of oneself, builds strong self-esteem, and provides an emotional, mental, and spiritual foundation for a gratifying and prosperous Psychotherapy Practice.

I am passionate about providing women with the support they need throughout the lifespan in a safe, warm and collaborative environment. I enjoy working with adults and adolescents to address a range of challenges, including help with a major transition, starting/sustaining/ending a relationship, becoming a parent, growing a family, infertility , switching careers, or aging. I have expertise addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, disordered eating, and stress from work, school or interpersonal relationships. I strive to help all clients explore their emotions, develop effective coping skills, and make positive change in their lives.

Whether entering therapy for symptom relief, a desire for greater self-understanding, or to cope with a particular crisis, I am committed to helping clients achieve their goals. I treat a variety of concerns including anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, grief/loss, self-esteem, life transitions, women’s issues, infertility , eating disorders, stress management, acculturative stress and cross-cultural challenges. Using telehealth, I am able to work with adults residing in IL and MA, from various professional, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds.

I work with my clients to create an authentic and collaborative relationship while enabling clients to develop insight and coping strategies. I work with individuals and couples dealing with a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, fertility treatment and chronic illness. I help clients explore their stressors, gain insight into their patterns and develop solutions. I implement an active and psychodynamic approach to help clients explore challenges and reach their goals.

I believe people are experts in their own lives; my goal is to partner with you to find answers and solutions to address the challenges you are facing. Whether you are looking for individual, couples or family therapy, you will find my approach to be collaborative and solution-focused with strong CBT leanings. Perhaps you are struggling to cope with an eating disorder, overwhelming anxiety or depression. We can work together to address these challenges.

A decision to consider psychotherapy suggests you are experiencing difficulties in life which you hope a professional can help with. Perhaps you have noticed some repeating patterns that get in the way of love or work but do not understand why. I am a trained psychoanalyst who has had a psychotherapy practice for over thirty years. I work with individual adults and have additional training in couples therapy. My style is responsive and interactive. I ascribe to the value of firm therapist-patient boundaries. This practice helps to facilitate a safe space which is essential if the work is to proceed.

***UNFORTUNATELY, I DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE OPENINGS FOR NEW CLIENTS (9/14/2021). I WILL UPDATE HERE WHEN MY AVAILABILITY CHANGES.*** I have experience working with adolescents, adults and couples. My theraputic approach is active, change-oriented and focuses on personal effectiveness. I attempt to create a nonjudgemental, positive enviornment in which clients are able to explore their difficulties and achieve a more balanced and fulfilling lifestyle.

Whether you are already on a path to change and transformation or if you're feeling stuck, I hope you'll find a good fit in these pages to begin an important journey. Discomfort or uncertainty brought on by depression, anxiety, grief, early trauma, career shifts or financial stress can throw one off balance and make life feel hard. Setting aside time every week to reflect on your feelings offers a rich opportunity to sort through challenging experiences. I look forward to meeting you and helping you examine aspects of your life that you wish to understand more fully.

You CAN get 'unstuck' from the past, feel better about yourself, learn new life skills, and set new goals. Difficult life events: breakups, divorce, college, leaving home, illness, loss, and aging can be resolved. Together, as a team, we safely 'unpack' what impacts your life, your decisions, and your relationships. A combination of traditional talk therapy, mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral techniques, guided imagery, and 'stress busters' are just some of the personally tailored tools to meet your individual needs as you move toward a more fulfilling life. We focus on hope, strengths, possibilities, and self-empowerment.

I understand that symptoms and problems have meaning and I help patients to come to understand this meaning. Therapy loosens the forces that bind people to ways of living that have become unsatisfying. I seek to help patients understand themselves in a deep and complex way so that life becomes more free, more enriched, and more meaningful.
