In Person Therapists in Downtown, Boston, MA
Life can be challenging for many different reasons, and sometimes it feels like everything is happening at once or things just aren't going how we expected. Being vulnerable is difficult, and so is assessing ourselves honestly and kindly. It's overwhelming to look inward to assess the changes that we can make or the standards that we want to set for ourselves. Sometimes it takes an objective perspective to help us realize our reality as well as our potential.

Psychotherapy is a deeply transformative and personal process. As such, how I work with clients is dependent on their needs, personality, and level of functioning. Although I incorporate a variety of approaches into therapy, I primarily draw from the relational psychodynamic model. This orientation assumes that in order for a person to experience emotional health, she or he must maintain fulfilling and satisfying relationships with those around them, and that emotional distress often is the result of negative, past relational experiences.

Is work making you stressed? Career and Workplace satisfaction plays a huge role in our overall happiness and psychological well-being. Yet, many people experience stress and burnout at work, which is often related to complex workplace dynamics, organizational cultures and practices, or imposter syndrome. Others may be navigating career transitions or re-design, and are seeking guidance and support along their journey. I am a Leadership Psychologist, Career Coach, and Psychotherapist who can help! Having navigated my own career re-design, I'm excited to partner with others in optimizing theirs.

I enjoy working with couples and families as well as individual adults and adolescents. College mental health is another area of interest.

Accepting new clients. Are you feeling anxious or down? Are you unsure about the future of a relationship, or wondering why you find yourself repeating the same patterns and behaviors? Therapy is a collaborative process of self-discovery and personal growth. It takes a lot to reach out to a complete stranger and ask for help and you should feel proud you are considering taking this first step. I like to see my clients laugh, know what makes them happy and see them learn more about themselves through the process of therapy.

I recognize and have a deep respect for the positive impact counseling can have on one's life. Having an impartial third party provide support and help one cope with any number of life's challenges can be invaluable. I believe the best therapists listen without judging and never dismiss or minimize rational or irrational fears as issues that adults "shouldn't" worry about. I practice an eclectic mix of theoretical approaches to empathically help individuals develop personal strengths and improve their self-awareness. My approach is collaborative, supportive, practical, and focuses on personal effectiveness.

The human brain is amazingly resilient and powerful. Our minds can learn, and relearn relational patterns, thoughts, and behaviors. I believe that therapy is a place to explore and gain insight into how our early childhood experiences impact our later relationships and functioning. I also believe it is important to build skills and strategies to manage our present-day difficulties. My hope is that therapy will both help you understand why you are feeling the way you do as well as give you tools to help you to feel better.

Life can be hard – it brings us times of feeling alone, scared, sad, ashamed, and uncertain. This can hurt our self, our loved ones, and our ability to lead a fulfilling life. Therapy can provide us with more choices and more control when life becomes hard. As a counseling psychologist, I am deeply committed to providing an affirming and compassionate therapy space where you can explore who you are, where your life is, and take steps towards the life you would like to lead.

Email preferred. Does life ever feel like a maze, with a dead end around every corner? Does it ever feel like the more you try to untangle the threads of your mind, the tighter the knots become? I compare my role as therapist to be a guide, someone who listens carefully and guides you through your unique maze, pointing out potential pitfalls and celebrating scenic views. I offer a calm space to allow you to open up, process your experiences, and take steps forward. For years I’ve worked with people who wrestled with grief over various losses such as death, divorce, chronic illness, unemployment and estranged relationships.
