Depression Therapists in Brookline, MA

Knowing how or even where to begin self-reflection and growth can feel daunting. A feeling of safety alongside active engagement are essential to begin the process. I believe that feeling seen, heard, and known can open up a space to develop and effect necessary changes in your life. Deep work, exploration, and drawing connections can lead to insight and new ways of thinking, changed feelings, and changed behaviors allowing you to exist more freely.

Hello and Welcome. I have had rich and diverse learning experiences from my time working at Harvard and Tufts Universities, McLean hospital, and the Bedford VA. Let me help you get the life you want--the life you deserve! I currently work with clients ages 17-99, with a variety of issues, backgrounds and orientations. I see individuals, couples, groups, and families for therapy and coaching. Additionally, I work with therapists on developing their clinical work, business, and own personal growth. I am interested in meeting you and seeing if we're a good fit.

I believe that therapy is most effective when there is a warm, supportive relationship between the therapist and child or teen. Does your child suffer from anxiety, trouble getting along with peers, depression, or behavioral problems? Therapy can help you child strengthen and learn new skills to address these concerns.

It can also provide a safe and supportive context to address longstanding struggles with depression, anxiety, or other concerns. I am a psychodynamically trained therapist who also utilizes cognitive behavioral and relational approaches. My clients describe me as attentive, supportive, and non judgemental. I view therapy as a collaboration between myself with my professional skills and training, and you with your knowledge of yourself and your desire for support and change. I am an authentic, active therapist who approaches therapy gently and directly.

As a classically trained psychologist, I view my work as a blend of art and science. My patients are generally competent, loving people who are struggling with painful issues related to relationships, sexuality, life changes, work and other stressful situations. Many also suffer from situational or long-standing feelings of depression, anxiety or inadequacy. All are motivated to make meaningful change. My style is open, relational, and collaborative, and my approach is based on decades of experience and a fundamental understanding that no two people are alike. Therapy focuses on both on symptom relief and personal growth.

The hardest step to take can be simply acknowledging when things have become a bit overwhelming or difficult to manage on your own. Many people benefit tremendously from psychotherapeutic treatment. If you or someone you know is having problems with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, work-life balance, grief/loss of a loved one, religious or spiritual concerns, LGBTQIA+ community, BIPOC, feeling disconnected, & Life stressors. You may find therapy helpful. My goal is to form a collaborative relationship with you that focuses on your needs, and restores meaningfulness and purpose back into your life.

I am a psychologist practicing for over 30 years. My approach is to listen, understand the difficulties you have, and develop a way that we can work together so that you are able to deal with the issues that matter to you. I mostly work with people with depression, anxiety, and/or emotional trauma and help people who feel unhappy with themselves and/or who are having difficulties with others. I also work with people who feel they are not dealing well with changes in their life or believe they need to make changes.

I am an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School and I study psychological growth, posttraumatic stress, and depression. My clinical work is inspired by my research. Generally speaking, my work begins in a humanistic-existential orientation. I believe in the client's potential for growth. When I enter a treatment, I listen to the individual, relational, and cultural narratives I am told; to the layers in each narrative; to my own reactions. I focus on feelings, unfulfilled desires, maladaptive defenses, and unsatisfying means of relatedness with past and present others - all of which generate anxiety.

I am committed to helping individuals to find the best within themselves and to share that with those most important to them. Whether you are struggling with anxiety or depression, relationship difficulties (including "dating stress"), or life stresses, I always try to find what will be the most effective way to help you achieve your goals and live a happier, authentic, life.

My practice focuses on the resolution of internal conflict while finding peace through meaning, purpose and fulfillment.

In the spirit of football player Joe Paterno, we are never standing still, we are either improving or we are declining. I will facilitate your well being through logic, rational thought and understanding.

Sadness, depression, grief, anger, anxiety, betrayal, confusion, our relationships, and work stresses can leave us feeling lost and out of balance with ourselves and with others important to us. I have worked for 20+ yrs. with individuals and couples in Maryland and Massachusetts. I actively engage with my clients to bring about new insights, and fresh ways of thinking, feeling and behaving so a re-balance can occur. Together we work to release negative core beliefs and shift dysfunctional patterns resulting in clients' greater clarity, empowerment, peace, and satisfaction. Clients become more connected to themselves and others.
