Therapy can be a wonderful opportunity to expand your self-awareness, have better communication and more life satisfaction. My goal is to help foster a collaborative environment to explore areas of your life where you may feel challenged, anxious and/or stuck, and to create new understandings that lead to curiosity, self-knowledge, and self-compassion. Through this exploration we will identify old patterns of behavior and beliefs that have been limiting you and begin to move forward in your life.
My approach to therapy is warm and relational and it is important to me to understand what is important to you. We will work together towards resolving symptoms and challenges such as anxiety, depression, self-defeating behaviors, parenting and family challenges, relationships issues, navigating life transitions, post-traumatic stress.
I completed my MSW from Smith College School for Social Work and I have completed advanced training in psychoanalysis from The Training Institute. If you are ready to take the next step or just want to see if we are a good fit, feel free to reach out. I offer both in person and virtual sessions and clinical supervision.
