Adoption Therapists in Brookline, MA
You may be feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety - whether it’s from external demands or internal struggles. Maybe it's social anxiety, "a life transition," or healing from trauma. Or maybe it's something more general, like you want to feel more "in control" of your emotions…and your life. I can help. Together, we’ll uncover the roots of your challenges, empowering you to move forward - with skill and confidence. I use “treatments that work” (CBT, DBT, mindfulness, etc). But we’ll find what works for YOU. Lastly, I don’t just want you to just “feel better.” I want you to live your best life. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

I specialize in working with teens, college students, and young adults who are facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. Typical concerns can include changing schools or starting college, managing academic or sports stress, health anxiety, job transitions/burnout, and relational challenges, as examples. I work with individuals seeking to explore their thoughts and emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and develop healthier ways to change unhelpful patterns to improve their overall well-being.

I respect why people seek therapy. Work begins with the truth of their stated problem.
People describe undesirable patterns in career/work and relationships.
I help people connect current problems to deficits or traumas in early life, or situations that interrupted their own early development.
I help people discover, talk about, and grieve these early situations.
The therapeutic action is the exploration of the link between early situations and the current problem.
I help people create new experiences of themselves in work, everyday stressful situations, and in love relationships.
The outcome: freedom to create a satisfying life and future.

Sometimes life's difficulties are too hard to bear alone. Talking with a trusted person, over a period of time, can make a significant difference. This is the essence of psychotherapy. Sometimes people come in crisis, in major life transitions, are grieving a loss; sometimes there are problems in one's own personality, in relationships, family, work, or just plain loneliness. There may be the residue of childhood trauma or other pain from the past that is getting in the way of living a more fulfilling and creative life.
