I am comfortable working with clients on a range of issues including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, domestic violence, infertility, life transitions, trauma, loss, pregnancy, postpartum and premature infants.
I am currently accepting new supervisees. I offer supervision/consultation for mental health professionals pursuing licensure in MA and licensed early career professionals. I believe therapy works best when a client and therapist are able to develop a genuine connection. Change happens in the context of trusting relationships. I strive to provide a warm, empathic and supportive environment that fosters clients' ability to explore their inner experiences and make positive changes in their lives. It is a privilege to hear clients' unique stories and work with people to create the change they want to see in their lives.

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.

I’ve worked with diverse populations to help my patients navigate life transitions, career issues, conflict, anger, grief, trauma, illness, aging, caregiving stressors, military reintegration, and substance/alcohol abuse challenges.
Each person has life experiences that trigger trauma, insecurity, anger, or negative self-thoughts. Too much time spent dwelling on stressful ruminating thoughts often escalates into some form of anxiety and depression. Together we will examine unhelpful life patterns that lead to negative outcomes and explore key solutions that will lead to a more harmonious and gratifying life. If you’re not sure you will benefit from therapy, it’s worth exploring the possibility to help you understand what you’re feeling, why, and how to cope. Setbacks can transition to comebacks.

I specialize in content including interpersonal trauma and abuse, relationship & family challenges, recovery and healing from sexual assault, and work with gender and sexuality within the LGBTQ+ community.
My approach to therapy centers on building a trusting relationship with the individuals I work with. I recognize that entering in to therapy can be a vulnerable and challenging experience – to speak to a stranger about your thoughts, feelings, fears, and dreams. First and foremost, I strive to create a space that feels grounding, safe, and compassionate. From this space is where I believe individuals can tap in to their inner wisdom, challenge themselves, explore their depth of mind and achieve a greater sense of understanding and peace.

I have advanced training in trauma treatment from the Victims of Violence program at Cambridge Health Alliance, a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital.

My work is informed by psychodynamic concepts within a social justice lens. I believe that we all have capacities for growth and healing.
