Embarking on the journey of couples therapy can often evoke feelings of uncertainty and vulnerability. Discussing the intricacies of your relationship isn't always straightforward, even for the most experienced couples. My goal is to establish a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment where both partners feel empowered to explore their current challenges and work together towards meaningful change. I believe in tailoring our therapeutic approach to fit your unique needs as a couple. Every relationship is distinctive, and I am dedicated to adapting our methods to support you in navigating your present struggles.

In my experience as a mental health clinician for student-athletes in the Counseling Center at Harvard, I've found that true growth comes from stepping out of our comfort zones and diving into the messy yet fruitful journey of self-discovery. I've learned along the way that understanding why we think, feel, and act the way we do sets the stage to make real changes in our lives. That's why I'm all about helping folks gain that self-insight that we can evaluate together how it's functioning in the present, and from there we can collaborate on what is going to change and how that change can come about.

You experience life in deep and meaningful ways, but often feel overwhelmed, out of place, and painfully alone. You have intense passions and interests that many don’t seem to share. You've been gaslighted into believing you're "over-thinking" or "too sensitive" when you've shared powerful truths and questioned the status quo. You often doubt yourself, may silence your voice out of shame and fear, and spend extraordinary energy trying to fit in. You may have felt misunderstood and dismissed by other providers, or have been labeled with all sorts of conditions that never seemed to get to the root of your experience.

The most important factor in choosing a therapist or counselor, once you have established their credentials, is to select someone you are comfortable talking to. Research shows that the quality of the relationship can be more important to the outcome than the treatment modality. For this reason, I try to establish an understanding, collaborative and interactive approach. You should always feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I only offer telehealth at this time, an approach that is best for problems such as life situations you would like to discuss rather than longstanding major emotional or mental disturbances.
