It can be disheartening to expend considerable energy trying to change something and be left with a similar outcome. It is not easy to lead a fulfilling life while being caught in patterns outside of awareness. Psychotherapy allows the opportunity to look inward and ask how a fleeting thought, a dream, or a subtle change may be related to ongoing difficulties. Taking a closer look at something while remaining curious during that exploration can deepen understanding and lead to meaningful changes. I work to provide a supportive and inquisitive space for clients interested in pursuing more in-depth therapy.
As a licensed psychologist and psychoanalyst, I specialize in helping clients with relationship issues, identity questions, existential angst, grief, obsessive and compulsive issues, anxiety, and life transitions. As a result, I often work with early-career professionals, entrepreneurs, and graduate students. I also specialize in working with athletes.
I have been providing psychotherapy for over fifteen years in various settings, including college counseling centers and hospitals. I received my training to be a psychoanalyst at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society & Institute. I also hold a faculty appointment as part-time Lecturer in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
