Now accepting new clients! I am so excited to support you in your journey to living your best life! My name is Liz and I work with people aged 17+ who want to improve their ability to manage challenging aspects of their lives. When problems related to substance use, mood disorders, grief, trauma, chronic illness or pain, parenting, educational and professional stress become overwhelming I can provide supportive and reassuring opportunities for change. It can be frightening to confront these parts of ourselves. I will provide a compassionate, validating and safe space to move forward in your life and accomplish your goals.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or hopeless? Emotions running wild? Struggling with major changes in your life? Take a step towards healing! As a trained therapist, I specialize in addressing difficulties that are common for young adults and professionals-whether it’s anxiety, major life changes, relationship issues, or just feeling stuck. In our sessions, you can expect empathy, practical advice, and genuine support – therapy that meets you where you are. With warmth and empathy, I'll create a safe space for you to overcome these struggles and transition from simply surviving to thriving.

Creating a welcoming and supportive environment is fundamental to explore each individual’s unique experiences. I provide individual therapy to young adults and professionals struggling with life transitions and challenges in relationships with self and with others. Incorporating the mind and body into my practice deepens clients journey toward recovery and self-discovery. In my work with clients I help them to navigate the demands on their time that can add stress to their lives. Empowered in our work together, clients find healthy solutions balancing stress, work, relationships, and school.

I am an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School and I study psychological growth, posttraumatic stress, and depression. My clinical work is inspired by my research. Generally speaking, my work begins in a humanistic-existential orientation. I believe in the client's potential for growth. When I enter a treatment, I listen to the individual, relational, and cultural narratives I am told; to the layers in each narrative; to my own reactions. I focus on feelings, unfulfilled desires, maladaptive defenses, and unsatisfying means of relatedness with past and present others - all of which generate anxiety.

We are a seasoned group of clinicians with decades of experience. We specialize in working with children, teens, families, college-aged students, and adults navigating the special education process and major life transitions. Our goals for therapy include helping people navigate through their life struggles, and learning skills to ease the pain and take back their lives. We identify a clear plan of action to get to the place you're dreaming of. We don't get to choose our beginning, but we are the drivers of how our life turns out.

I believe that everyone is resilient - and that constantly having to be strong can be exhausting. Through our work together, my goal is to honor that internal strength while also providing space for grieving, healing, and growing. I am passionate about supporting people that have lived through complex trauma and have been navigating their lives in survival mode. I work to help people re-establish a sense of safety within themselves, develop an understanding into how their experiences shaped them, and cultivate meaningful relationships.

I firmly believe that we are all doing our best with the resources and skills that we possess at any given moment. This means that we can aim to do better through therapy, while also having compassion for our present selves. I look forward to helping you to identify the goals and values that matter most in your life as well as targeting the unhelpful thoughts, habits and patterns of behavior that may be holding you back. My goal is to help you to feel stronger and more resilient so that you may confidently face the challenges that inevitably arise during times of transition and change.

Women face unique challenges throughout the lifespan, and I specialize in supporting them as they grow through these tough transitions - whether it be college stress, a "quarter life crisis", or pregnancy and parenting. I have a holistic approach that aims to empower women facing a wide range of issues or symptoms, including anxiety and stress management, depression, "burnout", OCD, and pregnancy/postpartum mental health. Please see my website for additional details about my practice.

I believe the therapist's role is to be authentic and compassionate, as well as an active participant in helping you to overcome whatever concern brings you to therapy. In addition to listening to what you are struggling with in the moment, I try to help you find ways to manage the distress and more fully engage in your life. I use a combination of traditional talk therapy and skill-building, primarily drawing from CBT, DBT, and ACT.

I am a licensed mental health counselor in Massachusetts with 10 years of experience working with youth, teens, and young adults. My experience has been in individual, group, and clinic settings within the education, mental health, and non-profit fields. Most of my experience has been working with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, and relationship and family challenges. Furthermore, I have spent a significant amount of time working with teens and young adults on coping with stress, time management, and life changes.

My clients are adults and young adults in different stages of life transition experiencing stressors, losses or trauma. This includes college students and young professionals navigating identity, interpersonal, and career stressors; middle age adults with families and careers who have multiple demands and little time to pay attention to their own needs and internal struggles, and older adults coping with the changes that can come with ageing including losses of important relationships, illness, or concerns about loneliness.

Whether working with a family, individual, and/or couples, I believe in a relational process in which finding a therapist that is a "good fit" as the groundwork for a supportive, transformative process. I believe that every individual has the ability to examine their life's journey and own their story; all while strengthening self compassion and working to navigate who and how to be in relationships. This along with growing to know, understand and accept oneself. Stepping into the therapeutic process is the first movement towards self discovery and growth.

Have you ever felt consumed by worry, anxiousness or a need to have it all figured out? Hoping for more balance while dealing with life's challenges? Or maybe you just need someone to vent to? I utilize a collaborative approach, providing a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to be able to openly express themselves and work through challenges that may be interfering with them reaching their goals. Therapy gives us the opportunity to be curious about who we are and empowers us to choose our future. If you curios about what therapy has to offer, I encourage you to reach out!

Are you feeling depressed or anxious and having trouble dealing with your home or work life? Are you struggling with your partner or mate, in the middle of a break up or having trouble finding a healthy relationship? Do you find yourself unfocused, unsure of yourself, overwhelmed, or lonely? Sometimes transitions like looking for a new job, starting or ending a relationship,deciding whether to have children or moving to a new area can be difficult. Uncomfortable or painful feelings which are coming from a life change or a past experience can sometimes feel insurmountable.

Do you need help getting unstuck? Do you feel paralyzed by mental noise you can't seem to shake. Maybe you feel life is missing something but you can't figure out what. If you're struggling with uncertainty, the endless cycle of "what ifs" or persistent feelings of fear, doubt, and anxiety, I want you to know that there's a better way. While the decision to seek treatment can be daunting, it opens the door to self-preservation and getting your life back. Using proven techniques, we work to change the relationship we have with these thoughts while improving your sense of self and inner wholeness.

My practice is dedicated to the treatment of complex forms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorders and related conditions. I use an innovative approach, known as Inferential- Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), which was developed for the treatment of OCD specifically. ICBT focuses on a doubting process, unique to obsessions, where reality and perception are overridden by imagined, irrelevant and/or implausible. ICBT is a remarkable "game-changer" for those suffering from severe OCD. ICBT also adds great value to older generations of CBT commonly used to treat other forms of anxiety

Psychotherapy is a profoundly transformative process for those who are curious about their worries, insecurities, and relational struggles. By creating a respectful, non-judgmental, and collaborative relationship, we will develop a greater understanding and acceptance of you and your experiences with the goal of living a more gratifying and meaningful life.
