Are you or a family member struggling with an addiction, loss, stressful job or other personal concern?
As an active and engaging therapist, I have observed that when the chemistry between therapist and client works, the process of therapy can provide a multitude of results: curbing self-destructive patterns of behavior, providing relief from painful emotions, increasing productivity at work, increasing behavioral control and achieving greater meaning in one's life.
I believe that these meaningful changes occur when there is a joint process of discovery in which the
therapist attends to the expressed needs and goals of the client.

I actively and empathically work to create a collaborative alliance with clients. It is my goal to provide focus and support and increase one's self-awareness in identifying ways to manage issues of concern.

Symptoms arise in the context of trying to adapt to something difficult in one's life. This may be an adaptation to a painful relationship, a work situation, or a physical limitation. Symptom relief comes with an initial understanding of the meaning of the problem, and then working with specific strategies to manage the problem differently. Our work will focus on who you are as a person and how your particular set of symptoms or issues have evolved for you in the context of your life as a whole.

I feel that finding the right therapist is absolutely essential to treatment. I believe that no one therapist can meet the needs of each patient that steps into their office. I pride myself on my ability to connect with others and form genuine therapeutic relationships. I empower and help my patients to learn the abilities and skills needed to live their lives to the highest quality so they will one day no longer need to see me. Supporting and encouraging independence is key in my therapeutic practice. I am licensed to see patients in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Washington, D.C.

Deciding to seek any form of support isn't always the easiest decision. Recognizing that you want to connect with a professional about anxiety, depression, previous trauma or just someone to talk to with an impartial view, is a tremendous step in your growth as an individual. I pride myself on my ability to meet with my clients where they are at. To genuinely listen to them without judgement. Ensuring that they know I am on their team and want to help them achieve their goals. My primary goal is for the clients I work with to feel as comfortable and rewarded as possible through this process.

I provide client-centered psychotherapy that emphasizes meaningful change and builds resilience. Effective psychotherapy creates change on many levels--alleviation of symptoms, a deeper understanding of one's self and more satisfying relationships. I am dedicated to creating a collaborative and supportive environment unique to your needs and goals. I also provide neuropsychological evaluations to all age ranges and all areas of functioning (learning, memory, behavior, executive function). Similarly to my psychotherapy practice, I cultivate a collaborative stance when providing neuropsychological evaluations in order to make the evaluation as thorough and useful as possible.

My ideal client, likely seeks someone who understands the complexities of their situation and can offer tailored support that addresses their unique challenges. They may be struggling with a system that has repeatedly let them down or be hesitant to engage in traditional therapy. The client desires a safe space where they feel heard, respected, and understood. Their goal is transformative change, both individually and within their family dynamics.

When beginning psychotherapy, individuals often feel vulnerable and in need of a safe space in which to examine their struggles and work towards healing. With over 30 years of experience, and as a Harvard-trained psychologist, I provide such a space. I work with empathy, intellect, and humor to help clients address such diverse concerns as life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, and eating disorders. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic and relational theories, and I use CBT and mindfulness techniques where appropriate to help clients understand themselves, achieve their goals, and find satisfaction in their lives.

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

I love helping clients who feel stuck with anxiety, depression, or trauma become “unstuck.” In my therapy space, I strive to create a supportive environment for people to explore their emotions – and the experiences that shaped those emotions. With individuals, couples, and families, I work collaboratively to understand how previous dynamics, especially with families of origin, contribute to their current thoughts and coping skills. When clients understand how their past relationships influence their current selves, they are better able to build new futures, with greater self-acceptance, growth, new skills, and overall happiness.
