Therapists in Fenway, Boston, MA

I am a licensed psychologist working with adults experiencing anxiety, OCD, and life transitions. I use cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and acceptance based approaches to create positive change. Taking a goal-oriented approach, I collaborate with clients to identify and actively work towards their goals, using the skills they learn in therapy. I am experienced in working with a range of issues including social and generalized anxiety disorders, panic disorder, and OCD.

As a clinical psychologist, I work with adolescents and adults in individual psychotherapy. My style is warm and interactive and I strive to create an environment where clients feel safe, respected and challenged. I believe that all people have great potential for growth and change; I trust in the process of psychotherapy as an effective way to facilitate that change. My work focuses on both symptom relief and facilitating insight, recognizing that no two people are alike. I work with clients on issues including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, life transitions, fears, phobias, gender/sexual identity issues and general life stressors.

I provide individual psychotherapy to individual adults (18-65) struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, anger/irritability, and a wide range of psychosocial stressors, including relationship & family stress, adjustment & life transitions, career stress, and grief/bereavement. I spent nine years at the Boston VA Hospital, so I have extensive training and experience with military veterans suffering from PTSD, anxiety, depression, and adjustment to civilian life.

I'm currently taking new clients for individual therapy, DBT groups, and anxiety groups. I'm a warm, engaged, compassionate therapist, and I enjoy working with people to increase self-compassion, stop harmful behaviors and self-sabotage, and build healthy and fulfilling relationships. I previously worked at McLean Hospital's 3East Adolescent DBT Program and was on the faculty of the Harvard Medical School Department of Psychiatry. I'm a DBT certified clinician by the DBT-Linehan Board of Certification.

I offer present- and future-oriented sexuality counseling and educational information tailored to individuals & couples with sexual concerns in a confidential and non-judgmental environment which is designed to empower the client(s) and not the problem. I also provide appropriate external resources while enhancing the internal resources client(s) already have to deal with their sexual concerns. Because of the centrality of sexual experience, this type of work can be transformational in many aspects of a client's life and not just their sexuality. I work as an equal and collaborative partner and am supportive and empathic.

We all have times when our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, or relationships become stuck in unhelpful patterns that can be very difficult to alter. As a clinical psychologist with over 17 years of experience, I work collaboratively and actively with you to better understand yourself and your life in order to make positive changes. If you have a desire to explore yourself in order to address issues affecting your work, relationships, and happiness, I can help. I honor people's diverse experiences and identities and practice gender-affirming care.

Have you been to therapy in the past? Perhaps you worked with a traditional talk therapist, gained considerable awareness, yet at the root things have not changed. Maybe therapy has been helpful in some ways, but you have not felt truly seen or met. Does your current struggle feel bigger than you at times? Perhaps it feels connected to trauma of previous generations but you can't explain why. Trauma is an energy that remains stuck in the body and gets passed down genetically- until acknowledged and felt. To heal from trauma/PTSD/C-PTSD, we need to understand how the body holds trauma as well as the wisdom and route towards healing.

Everyone needs support at some point. I strive to help people find strength during difficult times - to keep going, build supports, and focus on finding solutions. I can help identify ways to find more energy and appreciation in your life, and increase insight into sources of distress. Together we can work to identify your natural supports and improve on your strengths, as well as build coping skills and healthy ways to process difficult feelings.

It is not uncommon to feel that life’s challenges are too much to handle alone. I assist individuals in the process of bettering and more fully understanding themselves. Through a therapeutic and empathetic relationship, we can work together to reduce negativity in your life and increase your sense of autonomy, confidence, and mindfulness. I believe that with guidance and reflection, even our most difficult experiences can often become our greatest sources of strength and resilience.
