Anxiety Therapists in Cambridge, MA

I work with children, adolescents, and adults to address common challenges relating to depression, anxiety , relationship issues, life transitions, and family conflict. I approach treatment collaboratively and will work with you to develop a plan to help you and/or your child meet your goals. My approach is integrative, and draws on effective evidence-based treatments - including insight oriented approaches (psychodynamic), skill building approaches (cognitive-behavioral), and other collaborative and developmental interventions. Calm attention, compassion, energy, and creativity are important components of my approach; I recognize that therapy is a considerable commitment, and I am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive environment for our work.

Hello, thank you for viewing my profile. I will help you cope more effectively with anxiety , depression, grief, loneliness, eating disorders, and feelings related to past childhood trauma. My clients describe me as very compassionate, easy to talk to and able to provide just the right kind of intervention and insight that allows them to feel better and make profound changes in their lives. I enjoy working with adults and couples of all ages, cultural backgrounds and genders. I have more than 25 years of experience including inpatient and outpatient work, short-term and longer-term therapy, and the practice of psychoanalysis.

I believe every person has inner wisdom and the capacity for fulfillment in life. However, challenging events in the far or recent past can make this wisdom hard to access, or, at times, even imagine. Instead, you may experience anxiety , depression, relationship difficulties, or feelings of chronic stress. Using a collaborative, integrative approach I help you connect with your strengths, develop practical coping skills, and gain deep self-understanding and acceptance. In this way you can free yourself from self-limiting patterns and become more of who you want to be in your life.

What is it like to be you? My approach lies in creating a meaningful and authentic relationship with my client where there is security and openness to fully explore areas of difficulty, pain, joy, and growth. Together, we can address concerns surrounding anxiety and mood, coping strategies, identity and self-worth, disconnection, and transition/loss that may be impacting wellbeing. I aim to help others cultivate a greater understanding of and compassion for themselves, increase the ability to make choices and try new ways of being, and make changes that reflect core values and aspirations.

Not Accepting New Clients - I help adolescents, young adults & adults, feel comfortable in their own skin & create lives worth living. I provide a safe space full of light for those looking for guidance, accountability and positivity throughout this process. I am always myself and I approach things very directly with compassion woven throughout. I am not a therapist who will sit in silence while you share your story, I will get my hands dirty and work with you to get to the bottom of your thoughts and feelings. I promise throughout there will be many joyful moments full of laughter and pop culture references.

Choosing wellness can be a daunting and overwhelming task. Asking for help can feel scary and anxiety provoking, sometimes we doubt our capacity to change. Therapy is an essential tool we will use to disentangle your life and relationships while building clarity and self-awareness. Committing to wellness and making room for subtle change will alter your life as you know it. Strengthening a relationship with yourself will naturally inspire and deepen your connections to others. I look forward to getting to know you. Congratulations on taking this first step towards relief.
