Anxiety Therapists in Cambridge, MA

Therapy should address the specific needs of each client. Having trained in a variety of evidence-based practices and approaches, I work together with my clients to determine which approach works best for them, with the intent of addressing both symptoms and long-standing patterns of behavior. My approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and trauma-focused therapy.

I work with adults across the lifespan struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, family issues, work and school challenges. I am trained in Internal Family Systems therapy and draw from psychodynamic and attachment theory, Buddhist psychology and mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

You may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck. By working together, I want to assist you in recognizing your strengths, healing old wounds, and building the tools needed to get through difficult situations. If you're currently experiencing anxiety or depression, recovering from a loss or trauma, struggling with disordered eating, or noticing that you're very hard on yourself, I am here to support you. My role is to be fully present for you, and to help you build a more meaningful, authentic, and fulfilling life.

Every one of us has endured pain in our lives. Those events can affect our sense of inner security and the ability to mobilize our strengths. Whatever your history may be, transforming the way your mind, body and soul remember the pain, will put you on the path of more freedom to be your preferred self, and experience your relationships and your life to the fullest. Therapy could be that safe space where you can envision a desired life and future for yourself, breathe new hope and possibilities, and develop effective coping strategies that can be carried out outside our sessions.

With the foundation of a trusting therapeutic relationship, I offer a safe space for adults and older adolescents to self-reflect and grow through their personal development. I use a curious, collaborative, and compassionate approach so my clients can feel seen, heard, and even challenged at times. Growth and change can happen when we explore our vulnerabilities, feelings, and struggles in a safe and supportive environment. I aspire for each of my clients to live a grounded, fulfilling, and optimal life.

We - as humans - at times get anxious, sad or stuck. Major life transitions, such as life stage or relationship changes, career or identity crises, or significant loss, can leave us questioning ourselves as well as our sense of direction and purpose. On the other hand, we can long for change but don't know how to create it, leaving us feeling stagnant or trapped. I combine an actively curious, accepting and collaborative approach with a secure therapeutic framework to help my clients navigate change and live life with more vitality, meaning and satisfaction.

My therapeutic practice is rooted in relational psychodynamic theory, trauma-informed approaches, and mindfulness-based interventions, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I foster a collaborative approach with clients anchored in anti-oppressive practice, using warmth and curiosity to co-construct a supportive environment to explore therapeutic goals and lived experiences. I have worked with clients in a variety of settings including college mental health, outpatient hospital clinics, and community-based organizations.

Please note: I can't take insurance but I have a sliding scale - we will figure something out! - - Everyone has their own strengths and needs, children and adults alike. Sometimes the needs are overwhelming and the strengths are hard to find. Those are times when it helps to have someone who will listen, understand, support, validate, encourage, and help. I believe it's important to honor all emotions as valid and all needs as real. I also believe those needs don't have to define who you are, and that recognizing and accepting something as real - a loss, a child's behaviors - opens the way to start making positive changes.

Are you feeling stressed out, anxious, depressed, or stuck? Do you feel that you could be “doing” life better or that you are having trouble achieving your goals? Perhaps you have lost sight of what you know to be your true, best Self. Everyone can use help navigating stressful events, making changes in their behaviors or in life, or dealing with tricky points in relationships. It is important for you to find the right connection to a therapist to facilitate change and be your best Self.

I strive to create a warm, open space for exploration, support and collaboration. Through active listening and curiosity I work with people who are navigating life transitions, interpersonal relationships, symptoms of depression and anxiety, trauma, grief, and exploring their identity. Although I tailor treatment to individual needs, my practice stems from a primarily psychodynamic lens. I incorporate mindfulness, IFS, CBT, relational and existential theories. I'm also interested in how social and systematic forces play a role in our lives.
