I'm not currently accepting new clients; however, I'm happy to refer to another clinician with openings at my trauma-focused group practice, Sustainable Wellness. I believe we all have the potential to better ourselves, and that growth occurs while exploring the root causes of issues - not just treating symptoms. I have a holistic approach, treating the entire person rather than a disorder or specific hardship. I view my clients as experts on their own lives and my role as the facilitator of change. I help address my clients' struggles while, equally importantly, maintaining areas of strength.

I am dedicated to assisting adolescents and young adults in discovering the best version of themselves. While I have extensive experience in juvenile justice, children and family services, and medical social work, my dedication lies in assisting individuals process, reflect, and challenge themselves with a non-biased supporter while utilizing a trauma-focused lens.

Feeling overwhelmed? Flooded with painful emotion? Out of touch with yourself? When we don't have the relational support to help us during times of distress, we tend to find other ways to cope with our suffering or to disconnect altogether. Although these coping strategies may have kept us alive and functioning in the past, they may not be serving our best interests. Therapy can be a place to learn more adaptive ways of coping and to use even difficult experiences to grow as a person. As a psychologist, I use research-proven techniques to help people who are in the midst of crises as well as people who feel broken and unhelpable.

My ideal client is a working professional (medical, legal, business) who is looking for private, discrete, help. They may be battling alcohol, opioids, or other substances, feeling isolated, ashamed, or afraid of judgment. They need a compassionate, experienced professional who understands addiction as a treatable medical condition—not a moral failing or lack of willpower. As a board-certified Addiction Medicine Specialist, I offer evidence-based care to help clients regain control, rebuild self-respect, and restore their relationships. My goal is to guide them toward lasting recovery with understanding, dignity, and respect.

I am a Harvard-trained psychologist specializing in depression, anxiety, and attachment wounds. I also have experience working with self-esteem issues, problems with self-doubt and low confidence, physical manifestations of psychological problems, conversion disorders, adjustment concerns, and religious trauma. Clients I have worked well with in the past have been interested in getting to know themselves and working to discover the factors at the root of symptoms. Therapy with me is about coming to know and accept yourself with such confidence that you can feel both less upset now and more difficult to shake in the future.
