Therapists in Waltham, MA
You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, stress, or relationship challenges that are making it hard to participate fully in daily life. I work with children (ages 2–26), adults, and older adults who are navigating school anxiety, family conflict, isolation, transitions, or loss. I also support neurodivergent clients, including those on the autism spectrum, with approaches that reduce overwhelm and build emotional regulation, confidence, and connection.

We want to feel peace and joy in this life. And mental health issues can make that difficult or nearly impossible to experience. I have experience treating clients with anxiety, OCD, depression, low self-esteem, and stressful life transitions which might look like racing thoughts, trouble sleeping or relaxing, difficulty getting rid of a particular thought or worry, feeling bad about yourself and the world, frequent tearfulness, or feelings of overwhelm. I provide a non-judgmental space to understand what you are experiencing. I work alongside clients to figure out what changes will get you to a place of well-being.

You might look fine on the outside—capable, responsible, high-functioning—while privately feeling anxious, exhausted, or emotionally overwhelmed. Many adults I work with are professionals, caregivers, and high-achievers who've spent years pushing through stress, managing difficult experiences, or carrying unresolved grief. Over time, this leads to anxiety, PTSD, burnout, insomnia, or feeling disconnected. I specialize in trauma and PTSD (single-incident and complex), anxiety and chronic worry, prolonged grief, medical trauma and cancer-related stress, traumatic brain injury recovery, and chronic stress in high-demand roles.

Everyone has days or moments that make us think, "Maybe I should talk to someone about this." It can be hard to look our lives in the face, but if you feel ready to take that first step, I might be a good someone to talk to. The pain that sends us to a therapist can feel unrelenting and unsolvable. The good news is that there are many ways to approach such problems. I am focused on helping you figure out what is really going on and how that affects you, look at what you are already likely doing to get by, and help you figure out even better solutions and relief.

Feelings can be tricky. Thoughts, relationships, responsibilities, society can be overwhelming. But whatever the issue you cannot escape your feelings; which is still uncomfortable for some. The good news is, you are not the sum of your feelings. And no feeling or thought makes you a good or bad person, just human. In fact, we are built to experience the full range of human emotions, though many of us are not taught or encouraged to reflect on our inner world leaving us with no idea what to do with all of these feelings. And it is often what we are doing or not doing about our feelings that can keep us from living our fullest lives.

Now accepting new virtual clients (as of April 2026). You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. You might be navigating a life transition, questioning your identity, or carrying the lingering effects of past experiences. Even when things appear “fine” on the outside, something inside may still feel unsettled or off balance. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, feel supported, and begin reconnecting with yourself. Together, we can gently explore what’s been weighing on you and work toward greater clarity, grounding, and self-trust.

Every life is a story; past and present events that are not coupled with emotional resolution can stay stuck in the mind in a negative way. The focus of my practice is the "silent suffering", those whose lives look fine on paper and appear good to the outside world, but inside, something feels off, empty, or lonely; clients carry a significant level of discomfort with their own emotional landscape. This discomfort can show up in anxiety, depression, ADD or OCD related behaviors. Clients can self-medicate with alcohol, food, shopping or infidelity. Whatever the habit, there is a shame component.

I help individuals with OCD, anxiety, phobias, depression, relationship issues, body image and self esteem challenges. I'll show you how to break free of the ruminating and spiraling, and help you get more comfortable with living in the gray, or living with life's uncertainty.
