Infertility Therapists in Mid-Cambridge, Cambridge, MA

I provide individual psychotherapy for adults looking for support across a range of areas. There is no one “right” reason or time to seek psychotherapy, although often people reach out for support when some part of life is feeling dissatisfying. My goal is to create a safe and curious space to help better understand yourself, and to alleviate psychological barriers which might be getting in the way of relief and joy. Given the deeply personal nature of therapy, I believe that a warm, empathic and genuine relationship is an essential base for effective therapy.

Sometimes we notice that a problem or feeling of distress is not actually new, but one we have carried for a long time. Alternatively, stressful circumstances can suddenly challenge our usual and effective ways of coping requiring us to change. Psychotherapy offers an ideal context for modifying patterns of experience or feelings of being stuck that occur within our relationships, work, and internal worlds. This creative process contains elements of surprise that evolve over the course of the treatment, yet the work is also a demanding rigorous endeavor.

Diving into the world of parenting can feel like stepping into the great unknown and I aim to support you as you navigate the challenges and questions that are so often a part of the parenthood journey—questions like, “Am I doing this right?” or “Will I ever feel like myself again?" Whether you are a new parent, expecting a child, or struggling to conceive, we will work together to process all the emotions that accompany these significant transitions. Though this chapter of your life may feel overwhelming or isolating, you don't have to go through it alone. This moment does not define forever.

I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 43 years. I believe that psychotherapy can heal pain and help people to live more fulfilling lives through a collaborative working relationship between therapist and client/patient. I have worked with clients with a wide range of issues including but not limited to depression, anxiety, repeated problematic relationship patterns, grief, a history of or current trauma, aging, and identity development.

How can I get over feelings of sadness, loss, or low self-esteem? Why do I often feel stuck, without any energy or desire? Is it possible for me to change long-standing patterns that have caused problems over many years? My focus in therapy is to help clients confront such questions, in order for them to gain insight and break repetitive patterns of suffering. As they gradually free themselves to explore and share, they begin to find new ways to deepen relationships, engage in more meaningful and productive work, transition to a new stage in life, or come to a new appreciation of themselves.

I have been in private practice in the Boston/Cambridge area for 30 years working with adults and adolescents, couples and families.

I have been a practicing psychologist, psychoanalyst, and teacher for many years, and I offer psychotherapy tailored to address the unique needs and goals of my individual clients. Many want to work on specific problems relating to anxiety, depression, eating disorders, or childhood trauma. Many are successful people, but find they struggle with one specific area, for example intimate relationships. Some are not sure what, exactly, is wrong, but know that they feel stuck in their lives and are looking for help identifying a path forward.
