Anxiety Therapists in Cambridge, MA

Now accepting in-person clients! Many clients I work with are looking for a space to process symptoms related to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and body image/eating concerns.

I acknowledge that therapy is an incredibly vulnerable experience, and work at the pace my clients feel most comfortable at. It is not uncommon for laughter to find it's way into my sessions, and I am able to find a unique balance between warmth and challenging to best assist you.

After several years in the field, I cannot explain how inspired I am by the many individuals and stories I have encountered.

My therapeutic approach is comprised of these several aspects, along with moments of light-hearted humor.
