I am a clinical psychologist practicing in Cambridge. I see individuals who are struggling with a range of presenting concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationships, grief, trauma, and life transitions. I work in a way that is collaborative, helping people to cope with immediate stressors in their lives and to change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep them stuck. These patterns may reflect adaptations to past experiences and may require exploring thoughts or feelings that have not yet been articulated. Together, we can gain insight into some of these dynamics so that you can begin to make important changes.

While specializing in men's issues, anger management, older adolescent, and college populations, I also work individually with women/adults dealing with anxiety, loss and relationship issues. With an emphasis on strengthening relationships and self-esteem, therapy is designed for people searching for a more balanced approach to working through change and adjustment. I offer family therapy, have extended success connecting with male and female young adults whose behaviors have been labeled oppositional or explosive, and work with parents/families who struggle with how to relate and communicate with their children and each other.

My intention as a psychotherapist is to create a safe and supportive environment in which people can learn and share more about themselves, and in so doing, ease their suffering and create possibilities of positive movement and change in their lives. My work is grounded in a relational and psychodynamic approach. I bring an awareness of the deep impact of the past, and am attuned to building a respectful and collaborative relationship. My practice is diverse, with specializations in trauma-focused psychotherapy, couples therapy, EMDR and hypnotherapy.

I am a licensed psychologist in private practice in Concord, Massachusetts. Over the past 30 years, I have helped many individuals and families overcome obstacles to their well-being. We all experience times when we feel unable to cope or at least unable to bring the best version of ourselves to a given problem. When those moments persist despite our best efforts we can feel defeated, overwhelmed and/or exhausted. Talking with a therapist can be a way to get perspective and either build or reconnect with the strengths we need to move forward.

Perhaps you’ve tried a few therapists and weren't able to connect. Maybe you never saw yourself represented, or that therapy felt too manualized. You’ve pushed off therapy for a while now, not because you're too prideful to get the support you need, but because the help you are looking for hasn’t centered your beliefs, identity(ies) and understanding of well-being. You want support that centers all of who you are, and you are looking for authentic, experienced care that can help you gain clarity, confidence, and contentment.

Life doesn’t come with a manual, and sometimes it feels like you’re running on empty trying to hold it all together. Maybe you’re struggling with alcohol or substance use, fighting constant cycles of anxiety or depression, or carrying the weight of ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. You might feel exhausted, stuck, or unsure how to break free from patterns that no longer serve you. I believe you don’t have to do this alone—change is possible, and together we can create a path that feels manageable and real.

At the heart of my work is a belief in the healing power of being truly seen, known, and emotionally held by another. I believe all behavior serves a purpose. Even the most painful or confusing patterns often began as ways to cope with overwhelming circumstances. In therapy, we'll explore these parts of yourself, welcoming them into conscious awareness with curiosity and compassion. This often involves intentionally reflecting on past experiences and early relationships. When these emotions are safely confronted and processed, they begin to shift.

Life is already hard enough- finding a therapist who gets you shouldn't have to be. I offer a nonjudgmental, compassionate space where you can bring your authentic self and we can get down to the nitty gritty. Therapy isn't a one-size fits all approach, so let's work together to prioritize your specific needs. I bring a culturally competent and trauma informed approach to help clients through a variety of stressors, from getting through life changes, navigating intersectional identities, and figuring out what to do with those racing thoughts or feelings of anxiety.

For those who have felt that they don’t belong or are disconnected in their life, I want clients to know they are not a problem to be solved or fixed, but an individual worthy of love and respect. It can be helpful to talk with someone who can see you positively while also encouraging you to explore the areas of your life which are not working the way you had hoped. I became a therapist out of a desire to provide a space where a therapeutic relationship can foster the quality of active listening, trust, and safety required to grow. I want therapy to feel like an opportunity for connection, understanding, and collaboration.
