For some, one of the hardest things to do in life is ask for help. Often times, we are conditioned from a young age to believe that asking for help, especially with our mental health, is a sign of weakness in strength or character. That message, along with several other factors, lays the foundation for days, weeks, months, or years spent struggling with trauma and/or various emotional, behavioral, social, or relational issues. I will empower and encourage you at every step to make the changes you want and need.

In my 30 + years as a therapist, I have had the honor of helping many people overcome negative patterns and make meaningful, positive changes in their lives through self-reflection, insight, and behavioral interventions. People with depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges feel supported, understood and respected in our work in individual, couples or group therapy. Sometimes you may feel that your life is at odds with how you wish to see yourself and yet you can't quite figure out what the next step should be. Or maybe you long for closeness and intimacy yet you're afraid of it.

My clinical orientation primarily emphasizes psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy approaches and is rooted in relational and person-centric models. I have advanced training in psychodynamic approaches as a Fellow at the Boston Psychoanalysis Society and Institute. My style is eclectic and I derive techniques from a comprehensive range of approaches, including solution-focused, narrative, multicultural and expressive models of psychotherapy. I recognize that there are cultural limitations inherent to each of these approaches and endeavor to tailor the therapeutic experience to respect clients’ diverse backgrounds.

Psychotherapy helps people face what is difficult in their lives. Beyond providing relief and support, growth in therapy leads to increased agency and purpose, more satisfying relationships, and to greater spontaneity and flexibility. I see people with complex histories who present with anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. I am engaged, committed and practical in my approach to helping people. I continue to train in experiential dynamic therapy models, which help clients access emotions and outgrow longstanding and broken coping strategies. These models include AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples) and ISTDP (Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy).

I provide Ketamine - Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) to adults struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress despite trying traditional treatment methods. I believe trauma underlies most mental health distress. Together we build a solid relationship based upon trust, compassion, and genuine care so that I can help you face past experiences that continue to affect your life. As you learn to accept and process the past, new opportunities emerge to shift your life back towards health and a desired trajectory. Alongside KAP, I am certified in EMDR, the Flash Technique and the Safe and Sound Protocol.

What stands between you and your Happiness? I welcome you as we develop trust and explore what is getting in the way of you experiencing a more satisfying life. I have been privileged to work with children, teens, & adults with a wide variety of family histories. Often our childhood experiences play a big part in how we develop as adults. Post COVID 19, some have a new set of fears and real issues regarding work, health, and relationships. I specialize in ADHD, Depression, Trauma, and Anxiety. There are many tools (Mindfulness, CBT, Compassionate Inquiry) that we explore to see which is most supportive for each individual.

Feeling nervous or stressed is natural. When these feelings overwhelm us, we need someone to listen, to validate our concerns, and to help us get to the root of our problems with tools that will inspire hope, and help us regain control of our lives. I use Mindfulness Practices to help people sit with, and tolerate what comes up. I use Self-Compassion Practices to help soothe what ails you, and I often use CBT to organize our plan going forward. This gives you tools that you can use immediately, and strikes a fine balance between listening and responding.

Getting started with therapy, looking within ourselves, our relationships and world can be really scary and challenging. My goal always is to be a supportive, comforting and warm guide as you do that exploration. I truly believe we internally possess all the tools inside of us to grow and heal but we all need a little help sometimes to find it. I like to take a direct, humorous and kind approach to our work and love gentle accountability and dual transparency. Hablo Espanol y ofrezco servicios en Espanol para individuales y parejas.

If I were to imagine an ideal client, it would be someone who wants to change no matter what their needs are. It would also be someone who is open to new and innovative treatment modalities. It is also beneficial to have someone who is not hindered in what they discuss. Everything is important.

It is not easy to start therapy treatment. An ideal client is a person that, even through all the fears, doubts and questions, takes the first step to start treatment and gives a chance to explore a new technique to find better balance in their life. There could be setbacks in the process but the most important thing is to stay constant. The client is willing to work in their goals and implement skills learned in every session. Also, to ask questions needed, even if they feel afraid, in order to be able to communicate with their therapist in a honest way.

My ideal client is often a little uncomfortable internally, manifested as anxiety or depression. Often, clients I work best with have a complex childhood that can filter into current relationships. My clients often love objective data (like I do) and will measure key components of their care to understand if they are improving over time.
