Welcome! Please take a moment and give yourself the credit you deserve. Looking inward and reflecting can be a challenging step to take; yet, here you are! So, if you have found yourself feeling overwhelmed by stress, struggling to find happiness, having difficulty with interpersonal relationships, or feeling the weight of your world coming down on you, I want to be there with and for you. It will be my job to accompany you while traversing that emotional landscape to find the answers you’re looking for.

Young people today are faced with many challenges that place great amounts of stress on their emotional health. It is often helpful to have someone who can help them successfully move through these emotional challenges. I provide a community and office-based counseling service dedicated to helping adolescents and young adults build strengths that allow them to feel emotionally healthy again. When appropriate, I engage the supports of the family, the school, and the community in developing different approaches to affect behavioral difficulties that interfere with daily life activities and personal goals.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and certified mindfulness teacher. I completed my M.S. and Ph.D. at the University of Miami, my predoctoral clinical internship at the Yale University School of Medicine and my postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School/VA Boston Healthcare System.

No matter how big or small you think your problems might be, seeking help is not easy, it takes courage, and I applaud you for trying to improve your life. I've been a therapist for nearly 20 years and have assisted clients in feeling happier, less stressed, closer to the significant people in their lives, rejuvenated to do the things they normally enjoy doing, and viewing themselves and their future in a healthier light. I strive to build a trusting relationship with each person I work with, and I want my clients to feel heard, understood, encouraged, and motivated to make positive change.

Are stress, anxiety, depression, ruminating/obssessive thoughts keeping you from being your true self and living the life you want? Are you dealing with past traumas that continously present themselves in your present-day life? I can help you to break out of dysfunctional unconsious patterns that are keeping you stuck, and work collaboratively with you to start developing steps towards postive, lasting changes. I primarily use a treatment called Accelerated Resolution Therapy which can help facilitate lasting changes in relatively few sessions. (I am a New York and Connecticut-based clinical psychologist)

I've been practicing as a psychotherapist for over 30 years. I have been clinical director of mental health facilities and on the faculty of Tufts University School of Medicine. I welcome clients 14 years of age and older -- individuals and couples, and offer you a warm personal approach focusing on your specific needs. I don't believe in a "one size fits all" model of practice or that therapy should be "a way of life." Therapy begins with a careful assessment and plan. If what we are doing isn't working for you, we change it.

Many of the clients we serve have tried therapy with a counselor who was not a good fit for them. We get it. Our therapists help you feel better by understanding your emotions are like a guide. Counseling with us feels as easy as speaking with a friend who can truly help guide the process.

Imagine having the things you want in your life, and less of what you don't.

My ability to put people at ease through empathy and humor helps us work together to find solutions.

I have been a social worker for 10 years after being a professional photographer for 28 years. Because I photographed people, I believe I was always a social worker helping brides, children, and disabled adults. For me, being a social worker is my dream job, because there’s nothing better than helping a client elicit change in their own life. I also believe that the client is the expert in their situation which puts them in control of their recovery. In therapy we will do this by using three main modalities, Dialectical Behavior Therapy(DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing.

With over 30 years clinical experience and training at Harvard, Princeton and University of Chicago, I treat individuals and families, ranging in age from pre-teens to adults. I help clients achieve relief from emotional distress, enhance self-esteem, and restore the quality of their relationships and work/academic functioning. Clients seek my assistance on such problems as anxiety, depression, existential issues, life transitions, trauma, cognitive/learning disorders, behavior problems, as well as sexual dysfunction and addictions.

I always consider the whole person and their environment. You are not just the symptoms you’re experiencing. With a systemic approach to therapy, we'll examine how your experiences, relationships, and family history intersect. We will learn why recurring thoughts and patterns are hard to shake while developing the tools to enact change.
