Parenting Therapists in Brookline, MA
I believe every person comes to therapy with a unique story. I strive to offer a warm, empathic, and supportive space where you can feel understood, build on your strengths, and begin to make sense of what you’re experiencing. Therapy can be a place to slow down, reflect, set realistic goals, and move toward meaningful growth.

When treating children, I work closely with parents, providing careful guidance about how to help their child develop and thrive.
My aim is to build a therapeutic relationship that encourages curiosity, self-compassion, and courage. I also teach clinicians in areas I am passionate about, with a focus on trauma-informed, attachment-based, experiential and psychodynamic approaches. My areas of specialization include: anxiety, trauma, depression, life transitions and relationship issues.

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 have ups and downs but when the depressed and anxious days outnumber the good ones, something’s wrong. When the fights outweigh the love in your relationship, something’s wrong. And when the bad memories outnumber the happy ones, it’s time to do something about it.

As a psychologist and psychoanalyst, I aim to help patients understand the trouble in their lives and make significant changes. I believe it is important to take the time to get to know patients' stories. My approach is both collaborative and challenging. Sometimes this involves helping people look at parts of themselves that are painful, or hard to see clearly. Many patients benefit from long-term, intensive therapy, while others find that shorter-term therapy helps them solve immediate problems.

Life brings storms, changes, and moments when the way forward feels uncertain. You may be carrying old wounds, moving through a transition, or feeling like you’re always the one holding things together for others.
