My approach to treatment is centered on creating a safe and collaborative environment for those who are seeking help. I believe in the concept that there is a continuum of health, and while at one level a behavior, thought or feeling can feel healthy, at another level this same thought, feeling or behavior can be experienced as problematic. Part of our work together may be determining what is feeling problematic to you, and how we can use your strengths to shift your experiences so that they are more in line with the life you would like to be living.

Are you going through a life change, feeling anxious, or suffering from low self-esteem? Are you a parent under emotional strain or navigating a child's challenging behavior? Is your experience complicated by gender, race, cultural, sexual or religious identity? Whether you are new to therapy or disliked past providers, I can help. Opening up about your thoughts and feelings can be terrifying, or shame inducing. With the right connection, trust and pacing, momentum shifts from avoidance to confident engagement. By integrating evidence-based and psychodynamic techniques, I offer a more holistic, authentic approach to treatment.

Do you struggle with unresolved grief or trauma that affects your daily life and relationships? Are you exhausted by intense emotions and feeling stuck? Traditional therapy often prolongs the healing process, leaving you in a cycle of forever therapy. Why wait years to work through your issues when you can do it in a few days or a week? At Check Your Compass, we specialize in intensive counseling sessions designed to provide rapid relief and deep healing. We help you address your pain at its root, offering a transformative experience that can lead to lasting change and emotional freedom.

Fortunately, that’s also where our secrets to success are hidden too. Let’s help you break the unhealthy pattern & build new ones

Maybe something has happened. Maybe there has been a change, and you are beginning the work of learning to adapt. Maybe nothing has happened. Maybe you have noticed a feeling of discontent growing harder to ignore. In either case, you are likely here because you are curious if life could be otherwise. I partner with my clients to help them follow this curiosity, and to raise the questions “What am I feeling? What kind of attention is this feeling asking for?"

Things that happened to us in childhood create how we see ourselves and how we show up in relationships. Whether through neglect or abuse, we give up on our feelings, needs, vulnerability, and human connection. And as a result, as adults we feel alone, anxious, or hopeless. I can help you claim what was not afforded to you while you were growing up. And live a life with vitality, flow, a sense of belonging, depth in relationship, and authentic aliveness. I have master level training to help you find personal freedom from the past and live your best days now. You can make shifts that are life changing and long term!

As an experienced psychologist, leader, and Buddhist practitioner, I offer a grounded perspective on finding happiness. Life brings inevitable challenges, pleasant and unpleasant. While difficulties occur, suffering is optional. Cultivating compassion, gratitude, friendliness, & equanimity builds resilience and frees you from suffering. Living gracefully, despite challenges, is possible. In therapy, we'll use psychological tools and these principles to help you navigate challenges, foster self-acceptance ('Love yourself'), and live more effectively. We can integrate spirituality into your journey if desired.

Life is hard and life can be beautiful. Your symptoms perfectly reflect your distress. Gentleness, curiosity and developing awareness create a foundation for healing. Life need not be situations and feelings that keep repeating. I work to create positive ways of relating to yourself and others. Real change is possible with respect, courage and an open heart. I am not a managed care therapist - my commitment is to lasting change. I work with heterosexual, non-binary and LGBTQA+ individuals and couples. I also specialize in working with end of life, grief and loss, autism and deaf and hard of hearing issues.

New Openings! You are not alone - join a fantastic group working on Anxiety, Depression & Relationship Issues. Thur. 7:00-8:45PM $150/week. In person. I am a warm, engaging, interactive therapist. People tend to suffer alone with Depression, Anxiety, Relationship Distress, Eating Disorders, Grief over loss & Life Transition Complexities. We are all met with obstacles, unexpected curve-balls and difficult life challenges. Navigating necessary changes in family dynamics can be especially complicated for young adults as they separate and create space to develop and decide for themselves what their independent adult life will look like.

I also recently served as the Executive Director of the Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy (IMP) in Boston.

I am a licensed psychologist offering trauma-informed individual and couples therapy. My clients and I work together to sort through their experiences both present and past. Through self-compassion, in a warm and safe environment, we work on improving your insight into your experiences and into your important relationships. My couple's work is based on the theory that we all just want to connect! Utilizing Terry Real's model of Relational Life Therapy (RLT), I collaborate with couples to find their empathy for the other (knowing full way that this means the other is feeling empathy for them!)
