I prefer to draw upon a variety of evidence based approaches such as CBT, DBT, narrative, solution focused and strength based when working with my clients.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Boston, MA. I primarily provide individual therapy to college and graduate students, young mental health professionals, and adults in life transitions. Transitioning from student to working professional, entering into a new stage of life, or making changes in adulthood can be both rewarding and scary. I see my role as a place to process life stress, navigate transitions, hold many emotions together, and reinforce your strengths.

I help those struggling with anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD, gender dysphoria, eating disorders, and/or trauma. I bring an integrative, strength-based approach using solution-focused therapy and CBT in order to help you manage the challenges you face. As a neurodivergent therapist, I know how hard it can be to live in a world where you do not always feel accepted. To feel like no one gets you or how your brain works. There can be a lot of shame associated with neurodivergence and I teach others how to focus on appreciating the unique wiring of their brain. I also help parents through these concerns.

Often times, life's waves produce times of emotional hardship marked by deep seated feelings of grief, sadness, confusion, depression, worry, and anxiety. Therapy is an opportunity to have the space, support, and safety to address the waves inherent in everyday life without judgment. If you are experiencing a life transition, a break-up, day-to-day parenting and relationship stress, or you are simply being haunted by past events or thoughts that don't seem to budge, therapy can provide an outlet to gain the insight, awareness, and relief you may be seeking.

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists

How does solution-focused therapy work?

The treatment works by helping a client notice which behaviors and thoughts have positive results on their lives and building a plan around how to maximise these strengths. Practitioners of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) believe that individuals already have the experience, wisdom, and resilience to create change in their lives, but may need a guide to help them realise which changes to make and how to make them.

Is solution-focused brief therapy evidence-based?

Yes. Solution-focused brief therapy has been extensively studied, and researchers find strong evidence that it’s an effective treatment for many behavioral and psychological concerns. This may be due to the uplifting nature and practicality of the treatment, which allows patients to employ strategies to reach their goals that are incremental and achievable.

How long does solution-focused brief therapy last?

Solution-focused brief therapy, as the name implies, is brief. The timeline may vary from person to person, given the challenges they face and their situation in life, but treatment is typically complete within four to eight sessions. This therapy type is a pragmatic one: it’s concerned more with “how” problems can be addressed and improved than getting to the root of “why” they exist in the first place.

Is solution-focused brief therapy a type of cognitive behavioral therapy?

Solution-focused brief therapy is related to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)in that both are pragmatic approaches that deal less with gaining a full understanding of the cause of a mental health problem and more with creating plans for how to cope with these problems and improve an individual’s day-to-day life. They are distinct, however, in that SFBT emphasises building on strengths and resources, while CBT focuses on changing negative thoughts and behaviors.
