*** Now offering virtual sessions to new patients*** Do you have concerns about your substance use? Are you worried about a loved one with an addiction problem? Are you in recovery & looking to make changes in your life? Are you looking to make changes regarding your relationship with substances? Many of my clients are parents, siblings, spouses or concerned significant others (friends, coworkers, etc) with a primary concern about someone else's well-being. Other clients I see are looking for a therapist who will meet them where they are in trying to change their substance use or assist them in their individual recovery process.

My work with clients is deeply informed by a central belief: when in connection — to self, values, a sense of purpose, body, community, agency, and choice — we are most ourselves, most alive, and most well. A feeling of disconnection, in my experience, often sits somewhere close to the heart of what motivates many people to seek therapy. My clients are often ready to risk something new in the service of growth, with or without a clear sense of what they want or exactly where they are going. We will together identify patterns of thinking, acting, and feeling that no longer serve and try to shift them in a direction that does.

I am a clinical psychologist in Cambridge, Massachusetts practicing intensive, exploratory psychotherapy. I work with clients who recognize their emotional difficulties in living as related to intimate personal issues that they are unable usefully to understand and thus resolve. Psychoanalytically trained at New York University and an Assistant Clinical Professor in Psychiatry at the Harvard Medical School, I continue since having lived and practiced in New York City, to teach, supervise, and practice this type of work in the Harvard Square area of Cambridge.

I have a special affinity for work with adolescents and young adults. I am well attuned to the psychological challenges attendant to the complex transitions in our culture from high school to college and from college to young adult life. I have in-depth experience with this age group, with their confusion and explorations of sexual experience, as well as the long dark corridors of eating disorders and addictions. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient hospital settings. Having seen it all, and found ways to help a wide variety of individuals, I am well positioned to offer hope.

My approach to psychotherapy is psychodynamic, focusing on developing insight and working relationally to better understand and change patterns. I also utilize tools and perspectives from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Narrative Therapy to meet clients where they are and help them progress toward their goals. I have deep respect for the lived experiences and wisdom of each person, understanding that everyone inhabits a world with joys, pain, and sorrows that can be difficult to navigate alone. I believe that relational work can be crucial to both inner and systemic change.

Coming in for therapy is a courageous and a self compassionate step in itself. I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy and that each person is an expert in their own lives and issues. Sometimes, due to stress, anxiety and other factors out of our control, it can be difficult to see a clear picture of one’s life and see where it is heading. Most of us get stuck in living out patterns that aren't working for us anymore. I help my clients explore, identify and change those patterns to help them live a more fulfilling life. I use social justice perspectives, mindfulness, self compassion, CBT & psychodynamic thinking in my work.

I truly believe in chemistry. Too often, clients may leave a therapeutic relationship prematurely because they don't feel like they are making adequate progress or they get the sense that the therapist doesn't feel as though they are committed to change. Like in any significant relationship, I believe in "goodness of fit." I trust that you will know with whom you feel comfortable and you should let that feeling be your guide.

For over 20 years I have been providing patients with a safe space that is mutually created together through a trusting connection built to hold whatever you bring into therapy. My focus is on longer term therapy that is aimed at achieving real and lasting change in one's life. It is also my experience that once many of the initial issues are worked through, whether they are older emotional wounds or current relationship issues, that ultimately what will emerge are your own unique qualities that will allow you to flourish in all aspects of your life.

My belief is that all phases of life come with unique obstacles and opportunities for the development of deeper insight into what makes life meaningful to us. I find what often interferes with that meaning making process are deeply ingrained patterns of behavior, ways of connecting, and beliefs about who we are meant to be. These patterns in turn create seemingly unresolvable tensions in how we relate to others, the world, and our self. My hope is that in the work I do with my clients, we can create a safe, supportive, and challenging environment to explore where these patterns come from and how they continue to show up.

I am a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. My practice is directed toward individuals who have problems with self-esteem, with relationships, and/or with achieving work satisfaction. Often people are depressed and anxious, and unhappy with their lives, yet unable to effect change. For many, even knowing what it is they may desire is difficult and confusing. Sometimes, life feels meaningless and direction is hard to find. Developmental challenges, such as occupation choice, marriage, raising children, mid-life, and aging, pose particular stresses and are often times for re-evaluation.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
