I developed Full Circle after working as a social worker for many years in the fields of surrogacy, infertility and medical social work. I have witnessed clinically, professionally and personally how infertility has impacted the lives of so many women and their partners. On a personal note, my sister experienced four years of infertility which cumulated in many IUI attempts and resulted in a beautiful baby girl being born at the end of 2010-thanks to IVF.

I specialize in conducting neuropsychological evaluations for children and adolescents, ages 6 to 22. I am currently only taking clients for evaluations. The evaluations I conduct are invaluable to parents who are trying to understand their child's learning style and their learning strengths and weaknesses. Often, parents seek my help when they are concerned about their child's ability to achieve his/her potential in school and/or regulate his/her behaviors or emotions. My reports have been crucial tools for many parents in securing academic accommodations for their children both in the state of Massachusetts and elsewhere.

I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in working with families with children 0-10 years old. My primary focus is neurodevelopmental evaluation of infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and early school-age children, with a particular emphasis on the assessment and diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders. I believe that accurate diagnosis and identification of strengths and areas of growth are necessary to inform intervention plans and ensure each child meets their full potential.

At Child Therapy Boston, we have a passion for working with children, teens, siblings, families and groups. We are confident that we can help individuals and families struggling with diagnoses including ADHD, Anxiety, Mood Disorders, Depression, Developmental Disabilities, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, and Attachment.

We also offer specialized counseling for LGBTQIA+ youth.

I will provide you with a safe space for self-exploration, and a model for self-reflection to utilize in your everyday life. During treatment, we will work together to recognize how your current life situation is being directly affected by past events and how you 'made sense' of childhood experiences. We will also come to understand how psychological influences, which remain outside of your awareness are directly affecting your relationship with yourself & others. Also a natural progression of emotional development will occur as you gain insight into your many systems of defense and how to update these systems to be more adaptive.

I believe we all have a soul that is radiant and beautiful. Our souls are currently embodied in human form for two reasons: to manifest our soul mission and to experience the fullness of life. If you are not on track with your soul mission or are not getting the desired results in some area of your life, then there must be some type of interference pattern causing a misalignment between the conscious, unconscious, body and/or soul levels. The methodology I developed, Healing from the Body Level Up, clears these interference patterns from all levels quickly, painlessly and permanently.

Choosing a therapist can be a frightening and overwhelming task.

Have you had a great idea, a POP,  only to talk yourself out of it?  Started a project but abandoned it, telling yourself it was too overwhelming or just not doable?  Wanted to try something new or different and been discouraged by your own thoughts or the words of others?  We all have, haven’t we?  I certainly have.  So what is the driver behind our stopping, getting distracted, being “too busy” and talking ourselves out of actions and desires that will lead to greater fulfillment or happiness?   Fear!  Fear stops us from all things possible, from opening up and receiving the brilliance that this lifetime offers!

I am a developmental neuropsychologist who specializes in diagnostic evaluations and therapy with infants, toddlers, preschool and school aged children (ages 0-10). I believe that a thorough neuropsychological evaluation leads to proper intervention which can help a child overcome a wide range of developmental, behavioral, and learning problems. I will walk you hand in hand through the evaluation and treatment process and follow your child over time to ensure that he/she makes progress and doesn't "fall through the cracks." I will develop a treatment plan for your child and help parents, providers, and teachers put services into place and recommendations into action.

The loss of a loved one can change your life. Many people may face anxiety and the unexpected adventure of reshaping their life. Many need assistance and help along such an unchartered journey. I have over twenty years of experience in healthcare settings, clinical settings and hospice. My clinical services can assist clients and walk with them on the journey through grief and bereavement. I am available for counseling, lectures and consultation around Grief areas.

I am a therapist who deeply believes in everyone's ability to grow and change. I believe in our ability to evolve even when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. In my practice we focus on breaking down these challenges into manageable pieces and accessing the solutions that are already within.

Basically I work with all kinds of issues and use the methodology best suited to each person and his/her needs. I am trained in pastoral counseling as well as Jungian psychotherapy so issues connected with spirituality, search for meaning, understanding dreams, looking for purpose in life and relationships are all familiar territory.
