Are you struggling to lead a bigger life? Is self-doubt, anxiety or depression getting in your way? I offer compassionate, non-judgmental treatment for adults struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, substance use and other issues. Using an integrated approach, I help clients create a toolbox of skills to use in times of distress, and provide a warm and supportive environment for self-exploration, growth and transformation.
In addition to my private practice, I'm a credentialed clinician at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School, providing treatment to individuals at the hospital, and supervising trainees. I have extensive specialized training and experience in both insight-oriented therapies, motivational interviewing as well as CBT, DBT and mindfulness techniques.
Therapy allows us to create a little space together to challenge thinking and other behaviors keeping us from being more flexible in our responses. I look forward to getting to know you, and supporting you in pursuing the life you deserve.
