I am a clinical social worker and sex therapist in Davis Square, Somerville with over 30 years of experience working with individuals and couples. I trained and worked for five years as a staff therapist at the Institute for Sexuality and Intimacy, formerly at McLean Hospital, Harvard Medical School. I also have expertise with eating disorders, anxiety, performance issues and more. Clients say I am warm, compassionate and practical, and provide a comfortable, relaxed and safe environment. My approach is eclectic; I collaborate with each client to find the right treatment approach uniquely tailored to his/her/their needs.
I use a combination of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, relaxation/mindfulness therapy, and medical hypnotherapy, efficiently providing deep and lasting change. I help people to improve self-esteem. I also use my expertise to treat stress/anxiety, eating disorders, pain, illness, smoking/habit cessation, performance issues and more.
My approach combines psychotherapy with mindfulness, meditation, relaxation and self-directed hypnotherapy. I help clients find and build on their strengths, so that no matter what the reasons were that brought them to therapy, they become able to appreciate themselves in a deep and lasting way.
