If you find yourself feeling anxious, angry, sad, frustrated, overwhelmed, and tired I can assist with tools to help you alleviate some of these symptoms. Many times we feel so overwhelmed that we do not have or find the strength to cope. We struggle to find solutions to either manage our daily life or a major life event, and we feel that our world just crumbles. Sometimes we have family issues, struggle with boundaries, communication, and find no direction or drive to change our lives. If any of these issues sound familiar, I can help you find balance so that you can live life in a healthy and harmonious way.

Hello, I'm Brian (preferred pronouns: he/him/his) and I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker working as a therapist in the Boston area for over seven years. I've worked with clients across the lifespan, and am especially passionate working with millennial's (ages 18-40) who struggle with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and ADHD. I also focus on clients dealing with eco anxiety, climate anxiety, and solastalgia. My experience includes working in outpatient mental health settings such as community mental health centers, Boston Public Schools, a therapeutic day school, and as a Clinical Supervisor.

Welcome. I delight working alongside people of all ages individually, as a family, and with groups. At different life stages, we all navigate growth spurts such as starting school/college, jobs, relationships, moving into elderhood. Figuring ourselves out - our inner wishes, styles, patterns, relationships and how to enact them - often benefits from exploration, support and guidance. I bring experience in multicultural, multisystemic and multimodal problem-solving to these turning points that can include expressive, mindfulness, CBT, etc. I've particularly worked for years alongside children and the adults who care for them(c).

I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, regardless of their background or circumstances. Whether you are struggling with excessive worry or negative thoughts, overwhelmed by schoolwork as a student, supporting a family member with autism or developmental disability, or facing challenges as a member of a marginalized group in society, it is common to feel hopeless and worthless at times. However, you do not have to give in to these feelings. Together, we will overcome obstacles by empowering you, developing strategies for managing negative feelings, improving your self-identity, and gaining a deeper understanding of yourself.

Hello and thanks for visiting! I've been a clinical social worker and counselor since 2010 and I provide therapy to adults, adolescents, couples (including folks in poly relationships), and family dyads. I work effectively with a broad range of people and concerns - whether you and I are similar in some ways or quite different! In case it helps, I do have particular experience working with queer and trans folks, Asian folks, people of color more broadly, and people dealing with abusive or unjust dynamics at school or work.

I am a social worker that does community activism. Many times people have problems because of the injustices built into our system. In my work in therapy I can help people to identify issues in their lives and give them skills to deal with situations they find themselves in. I want to remove stigma from mental health treatment by offering it to everyone. I am committed to treating people with every day issues that may negatively impact their lives so that they can move forward to have happy and successful lives. I want to listen to people and help them develop the skills they need.

Ready to better understand how your brain function or learning impacts your day-to-day life? Ready to move forward in your life? I offer Psychological and Neuropsychological Evaluation and Therapy Services. My testing clients may have a neurological disorder or difficulties with attention, focus, organization, and/or memory, neurodevelopmental disorders, medical conditions, and comorbid psychiatric disorders. My therapy clients may have Anxiety related disorders, depression and/or stress which can cause an upheaval in life. I often work with complex families including those with a member who has ASD, disability or dementia.

It takes courage and commitment to begin the therapy process. I hope that through the creation of a safe, non-judgmental space and a collaborative relationship, clients will be able to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with me. Whether its related to relationships, work, family, or even maintaining your own inner peace. As the therapist, I will provide that space, as well as insight, skills, knowledge, emotional support, guidance, and encouragement that can lead each person to make the changes they are seeking. Together, we can help you achieve your goals and take a few steps towards mental wellness.

As an eclectic therapist, I employ many tools when working with you. With adults, I primarily rely on cognitive behavioral techniques. This is an approach that aims to influence dysfunctional emotions, behaviors and thoughts through a goal-oriented, systematic procedure. It is proven to be quite effective with mood, anxiety, personality, eating, substance abuse, and psychotic disorders. With children, I rely on a variety of play therapy and behavioral therapy techniques. Your treatment will be influenced by your own needs and symptoms to help you meet to your goals. You deserve to love the life you live!

I recognize that entering therapy is a big decision. I am sensitive to each client's specific needs and the pace in which the individual wishes to move in treatment. I make my best effort to support people in feeling comfortable, safe, and empowered in their sessions. I use a strengths-based approach in my work: recognizing each individual's strengths, and then building on those qualities, to help them bring about positive change in their lives.

I have been a human being for 64 years, a practicing psychotherapist for 22. I invite you to stand shoulder to shoulder with me in our journey to ease your suffering and achieve your goals. Therapy offers many possibilities- seeing old problems in a new and open way, being more alive in the world, celebrating the possibility of wonder, or learning more effective strategies for relating. This means exploring and addressing various kinds of dilemmas and pain. It may simply mean support with your creative process, or more commonly, with the feeling that you are “stuck”.
