Accepting new patients - Sometimes you make impulsive decisions because of worry or self-esteem. It is hard to concentrate and this is holding you back. You want to work with a goal-oriented nonjudgmental professional who will guide you to a place where you feel confident and in control. Mental health is more than low self-esteem. It impacts all areas of your life including focus, sleep, relationships, athletic performance, and even chronic pain or health conditions.

I am on faculty at Harvard Medical School and UMass Medical School where I supervise and teach psychiatry residents. In my private practice I help older adolescents, adults, and couples improve their mental health, communication, and relationships.

My experience as an elite athlete and specialized post-doctoral training in health psychology provide me with expertise in treatment of high level athletes, medical professionals, sleep disorders, and eating disorders (over and undereating).

Types of Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Emotionally Focused
Psychodynamic
Trauma Focused

Although Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is my primary treatment approach, I tailor therapy to the unique needs, goals, and preferences of each client. I regularly adjust both the pace and focus of treatment based on ongoing assessment, ensuring that interventions are guided by what is most helpful for the client at that moment, not by a predetermined agenda.
