My direct and respectful approach is the most prominent and helpful aspect of my work. I provide an environment of warmth and trust, so you can feel free to discuss any problem. I take an active and engaged role and when needed, I will also teach concrete skills of managing difficult personal situations or painful emotions. I think of myself as coach, teacher and mentor to help each client find a way of living that is right for them. I have an eclectic approach but my specialties are in mindfulness and attachment and trauma informed work.

Every one of us has an internal wisdom and light that guides us through our life. However, at times, we may get wounded in relation with others, and our inherent beauty gets clouded with pain and symptoms. My goal is to help you find the strength and realization that everything you need is already inside of you. Together, we will identify the sources of your pain and authentic steps to take to thrive. I work with adults 18 and over who would like to improve their quality of life. My 15 years of experience have gifted me expertise in complex relational trauma, as well as issues that women experience across their lifespan.

"If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present." While this quote is certainly a simplification, I do believe that people do best when they are in the present moment. I work with my clients to help them be more present, and feel more at peace, in their relationships, at work or school, and in their communities. I pride myself on creating a nonjudgmental, welcoming environment that meets the client where they are at.

My life has been full of diverse experiences in the U.S. and abroad, leaving me with a deep appreciation for human differences.

I approach sensitive topics in psychotherapy with a compassionate, thoughtful, exploratory, and collaborative approach. I hope to help clients strengthen their resilience and learn about themselves, even through the darkest of times.

Often people who come to therapy have already been struggling for some time: a feeling or way of thinking, relationship concerns, feeling overloaded with work or school, a particular loss or trauma, or just a general sense that something is wrong. You may know what you need, or may be unsure if psychotherapy can help at all. This is where therapy begins. I will work with you to develop a plan of action; if we can't come up with a plan that works for you within our first few meetings, I will connect you with someone who can.

I actively and empathically work to create a collaborative alliance with clients. It is my goal to provide focus and support and increase one's self-awareness in identifying ways to manage issues of concern.

Believing that all therapy starts by building a detailed understanding of each person in the context of a developing therapeutic relationship, I will work with you collaboratively to develop a plan for your success based on your specific goals. Often, this plan includes enhancing knowledge, increasing self-awareness, and learning new skills. I offer an integration of therapeutic approaches, including relational (focusing on interpersonal interactions), mindfulness (emphasizing awareness and attention to one's experience), and cognitive-behavioral techniques (focusing on the impact of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors).

Is your child struggling, anxious, or depressed? Are you unhappy in your life, in your relationships, or in your work? Are you held back by sadness, anxiety, or lack of fulfillment?

Hi, and welcome. For many people, the decision to get help can be a difficult one. I see your visit to my profile as a sign of strength and a refusal to give up. Loneliness, the inability to enjoy life, excessive worry or fear, anxiety in social situations, unhappiness or problems in personal, professional or marital relationships, not knowing what to do personally or professionally, even substance "abuse" and PTSD are issues that are interpersonal, not biological. They can be overcome within a genuinely understanding, compassionate, active, and patient therapeutic relationship.

When our working life and/or our relationships do not give us a sense of vitality and purpose, this is a sign that we have become disconnected from parts of ourselves.
I work with individuals and couples to help them get closer to themselves. This helps them get closer to others and to work they find meaningful.
I encourage my clients to follow one rule and one rule only: to describe whatever comes to their mind. It is not easy to do! What helps is that there are two of us deeply involved in this dialogue, observing together, exploring more deeply, Slowly, it becomes easier, and the easier it becomes the more likely it is that feelings and thoughts are meeting on new ground.
Psychotherapy can be an unforgettable journey of discovery, a way to restore meaning, vitality and purpose. I invite those who want to explore the possibilities to meet in a safe place for inner exploration-- my Brookline office--easy access to the T and parking.
