I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and depression, using multiple approaches (see below). Many of my clients are graduate students, and young professionals. But I also work with older adults, who are juggling work, relationships, and family commitments. Life in Boston can be exciting, but also demanding and stressful. I work with clients on reducing the stress and creating more of a work/life balance. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and in the healing process, but I also believe in the importance of using various tools and techniques to help clients achieve their goals.
I have over 30 years of experience in treating anxiety and depression, using multiple approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness and relaxation techniques, as well as general "talk therapy", based on a psychodynamic approach. I believe that the combination of these three approaches, is really the best medicine.
I have demonstrated success in combining these approaches, which has enabled my clients to feel heard and understood, while they are learning new techniques to reduce stress, anxiety, and the blues. I look forward to hearing from you, as you start your journey to improve your mood and/or reduce your anxiety, in order to create the life you want.
