Through our work together, I want all of my clients to know two things; one is that they have value that cannot be taken away by anything or anyone and the other is that they do not have to struggle with mental health issues alone. Therapy is the place where you can be authentic and honest about struggles and can feel validated and heard rather than judged or dismissed.

Asking for help is a sign of strength. From time to time everyone feels the need to call upon their strengths to face and overcome de manding situations and to cope and adjust to life's circumstances, both past and present. Gaining a better understanding of yourself and using that understanding to make both immediate and lasting changes can help this process. New knowledge and skills can come from a strong therapeutic alliance. Objective, non judgemental, and caring support promotes the ability to succeed. Life can be easier and more fulfilling than it is now.

Hello, I’m glad you found me! I chose a career in therapy to offer support and a safe, therapeutic space for the queer community because it was something I would have liked to have had as a young person growing up. I enjoy working with teens and adults dealing with issues of acceptance, interpersonal conflict, chronic mental illness, and life transitions. If you’re looking for unconditional positive regard balanced with healthy accountability (and some humor for good measure), I’d love to work with you.

By listening with deep compassion and acceptance, I collaborate with people as they expand their ability to belong to themselves. Through our time together we will affirm your inherent goodness during troubling life events. Our feelings and sensations are a natural and organic response to life. Our bodies, being the center of hu man experience, are the greatest sources of guidance through feelings, sensations, and reactions. When our natural response to life is shamed or rejected we cease belonging to life and to ourselves. When we are able to allow these feelings to flow through us, our whole selves become a part of life.

Good psychotherapy helps you connect more deeply with what truly matters in your life. Feelings of being stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed can act as signals indicating a need for change. My role is to help you decode these signals, creating a collaborative environment apart from everyday life where we can understand them together, and to empower you to achieve the changes you desire. In addition to my private practice, I am Assistant Director for Psychotherapy Innovation at Mass General's outpatient substance use treatment facility and hold a faculty appointment at Harvard Medical School.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
