I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist who is also an experienced therapist. I provide care that integrates psychotherapy with medication for adults with anxiety and depression. Most of my patients meet with me once or twice a week for several months to many years. About half use medication. I have been practicing psychiatry and psychotherapy since 1998. I attended Mayo Medical School and trained in Adult Psychiatry at The Cambridge Hospital of Harvard Medical School. I completed a four-year fellowship in Advanced Psychiatry at Austen Riggs Center.

I specialize in working with clients who may benefit from more intensive psychodynamic treatment stemming from trauma, disordered eating or addiction, family difficulties, anxiety, or depression. I work collaboratively with my patients to better understand what is impeding their ability to grow, develop, and thrive as an individual and in relationships. My goal is to facilitate a patient experience that provides a space for exploration and discovery. Through this collaborative process, we may also use our relationship as a way to better understand interpersonal dynamics and/or challenges that exist in other areas in your life.

People come to psychologists to find answers, get help, and feel better. Often the true nature and deep complexity of any challenge take time to reveal themselves. As a psychologist and neuropsychologist, I help children, families, and adults with the tools of psychotherapy, neuropsychological testing, legal/forensic evaluation, and consultation. My background in human development is central to my person-centered approach. My special interests include girls and women, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, learning disabilities, neurologic conditions, employment, and life transitions.

I believe everyone has the capacity to change and improve the quality of their life, no matter what has happened. My style of counseling combines working with insight and cognitive therapy, which explores past events in light of how the choices we now make affect well - being. I also utilize an awareness approach, whereby, getting in touch and releasing the feelings in the body helps to create a new sense of relief and empowerment.

I have knowledge and experience in working with all ages on a variety of different issues including life changes/events, behavioral issues, mood disruptions, self esteem and desire to reach ones full potential. I have worked in out-patient and in-patient mental health over the past fifteen years and have provided treatment and support for those in medical and psychiatric settings throughout Massachusetts. Emotional safety, comfort, trust and confidentiality are crucial to the therapeutic relationship and is a priority in my treatment with clients.

Do you feel unsatisfied by life? Wish you felt a sense of meaning and purpose? Do you struggle with a merciless self-critic? Perhaps you're feeling anxious or depressed. These are all painful experiences that can leave you feeling hopeless, helpless, and alone. You may have developed self-destructive ways of coping, relying on an addiction or an eating disorder to get by. There is hope, and there is help. The counseling and therapy I offer can be an effective approach to addressing the root causes of your pain, so you can find relief and deep healing.

It is easy to feel stuck in relationships, personal and professional pursuits and with ourselves. We become frustrated and discouraged when our efforts don't bring us the desired results. How we think, how we feel and what we do can reveal how we are holding ourselves back and what will help us move forward. I would like to help you learn more about the internal obstacles that get in the way of achieving your desired goals and discover how to move through them successfully.

I work with a diverse group of individuals. In my experience,​ the people who find their way to me are the people I work best with.

You may be dealing with trauma, anxiety, addiction, codependency, depression, or grief. Maybe you're navigating life transitions. Whatever it is, you want to move forward with a skilled guide to help. I provide a compassionate, honest, and encouraging space for you to understand yourself better and make the changes you desire. My clinical experience has been in inpatient, residential, and outpatient settings. My specialty is in dance/movement and expressive arts psychotherapy. I am also a registered yoga teacher, reiki certified, and ordained as an interfaith minister. Embodiment, creativity, and spirituality inform my work.

My approach to treatment is interactive and engaging. I find that clients appreciate and benefit from an active therapist that will help identify areas of difficulty and work on initiating changes rather than a passive, primarily listening approach to treatment. A comfortable fit between therapist and client is an essential part of successful work together. Consistent with that, I'm happy to do a phone consultation so you can get a sense of how I approach this process. In terms of insurance, if you have out-of-network benefits we should be able to make therapy affordable.

I provide comprehensive neuropsychological assessments and evidenced-based psychotherapy for children, families, and young adults.

I provide psychotherapy focused on helping individuals better understand their struggles in an effort to create significant and meaningful change. I work collaboratively with patients to develop a treatment plan and goals for therapy that reflect the singular nature of their experience while providing a safe space to deepen their self-understanding and understanding of their relationships with others. I am primarily focused on the context for and meaning of an individual's struggles as they pursue health.

I create a safe, supportive space within which you can dare to fully be yourself and experience what you are really feeling. Life is challenging and it can be hard to thrive going it alone. I can help you to work through blocks and become more loving and whole. Loving yourself as you are releases your life energy and opens you to new opportunities and possibilities. Choices become clear and change then becomes a natural, nearly effortless flow. We live in a time of nearly constant distraction and disconnect - I help people focus on themselves and what they really need.
