I have worked with a broad range of clients with presenting problems from depression and anxiety to attention deficit, relationship and work issues. A major part of my practice is treatment of addiction-substance abuse, sexual addiction, gambling, compulsive overeating. I enjoy working with couples and families as well as individual adults and adolescents. College mental health is another area of interest. Depending on your needs and interest, my treatment approach encompasses problem solving, behavioral change, reflection and insight all in the context of a supportive and respectful therapeutic relationship.

I identify as a hu manist above all else, and that foundational lens is paramount to the collaborative and relational work I engage in with my clients.
**Unfortunately I am currently at capacity and am unable to accept new client referrals.** Each of us come to junctures in our lives that make us question our ability or our will to push forward. Often we struggle to find others we feel can help us along our way, who we trust to hold and respect our pain. Seeking support in therapy can be the first step to re-gaining a sense of control, a value of one's own self-worth, and a hope in the possibility of change. I am a person-centered clinical social worker who values the honesty, exploration, reflection, challenge, balance, and care that a therapeutic relationship can provide.

Many have been diagnosed with personality disorders.
I provide individual psychotherapy from a psychoanalytic perspective. This means that therapy focuses on getting to know you in a very deep way: your history, your needs, your strengths and weaknesses, and how you'd like to lead your life. Therapy is grounded in a strong working relationship that we cultivate over time, one in which you can feel safe being extremely honest and taking emotional risks.

I work with individual men and wo men, gay and heterosexual.
To make the decision to enter therapy, whatever your reasons, requires courage and persistence. Maybe you are feeling stuck in your current circumstances or frustrating behavior patterns. Or maybe you struggle with anxiety or depression, or wrestle with the pain of some kind of trauma or abuse. I believe we all are meant to grow and develop; and that some life events or relationships can throw up roadblocks to that natural process of growth. I believe that the combination of insight and hard work with a compassionate and experienced therapist can be very healing and yes, life changing.

Many people find that therapy has helped them to make lasting and meaningful changes.
Many people turn to psychotherapy for help with anxiety, depression, painful relationship patterns, or sometimes just the feeling that something is missing from life. If you struggle with anxious or depressive feelings, or with frustrating relationship patterns, then I would recommend that you consider a free phone consultation. It might help to know that, with motivation, many people can make progress immediately towards overcoming internal roadblocks and becoming more effective in their work and relationships.

Men tend to be less inclined to seek out therapy because it implies that they are weak and struggling.
I am currently seeing people in my office and virtually over zoom. I specialize in parenting issues, anger management and spiritual issues. I provide support to men and fathers as they strive to become the best version of themselves. I tend to work with a lot of men who are former athletes. My background as a former high school and college athlete seems to serve our connection. The men who come see me want help in figuring out ways to channel their aggression in a healthier way and tend to be self reliant and often have a hard time asking for help.

This includes body image issues, low self-confidence, lack of fitness, anxiety, weight struggles, over/under/dysregulated eating, managing chronic stress, lack of focus or direction, and relationship troubles.
I work with men who are feeling "off their game" and want to fulfill their personal and professional potential. Stuck in unhealthy habits? Repeating self-destructive patterns? Are you undermining your health and happiness? I give you accountability and support to make a change in how you take care of yourself. Stop beating yourself up. Start getting control of what really matters.

I have worked for almost 40 years with married and unmarried couples who face challenges with intimacy, communication, power, trust, physical connection, collaboration, parenting, and life changes. Many of my clients face some current or unresolved past challenges that have robbed some of the joy, comfort, and closeness in the relationship. My clients often want to create or re-ignite satisfying interactions and greater closeness. Working through these challenges and re-building energetic, and loving connection within a very safe and non-judgmental environment is what I love to do.

I served in many health care settings including primary care, specialty care, and Veterans medical centers.
As of January 2023, I have very limited availability. I have over 20 years of experience working with a variety of health issues. I focus on optimizing health and healthy decision making, collaborating with clients in a way that's meaningful and long-lasting. Together, we work toward managing medical stress and the emotional challenges that have become barriers to personal growth. Health is an evolving, personal state blending both body and mind. My goal is for my clients to discover how to move toward true health and embrace their potential.

Everyone, at least once in their life, finds themselves struggling with life events that feel insurmountable or with emotions that feel outside of their control. I believe that therapy can help with that and bring out your own resilience and capacity to learn. My guiding principle is to provide an open and accepting environment where people can explore their personal experiences and reinforce their well-being.

Good therapy is like a strong relationship; it requires dedication, builds tolerance for vulnerability, supports growth, and manages trust through respectful and consistent boundaries.
Hi. If you're here, you may be at a crossroad. Entering therapy is an act of courage and commitment. Asking questions such as, why is therapy important to me now?, How do we improve our relationship to one another and to sex? what do I want from this process?, what do I contribute to this problem? and, am I ready to grow?, can provide you with a direction to create the change you want in your life. Therapy can be difficult at times. Looking at past experiences, addressing buried emotions, and altering patterns of relating to oneself and others is not easy. However, the outcome of this hard work is life altering and healing.

I am committed to helping my clients live more meaningful and authentic lives. I am skilled in the use of empirically supported treatments for psychological problems and I employ these strategies flexibly, with the goal of tailoring each client's treatment to his/her/their individual concerns and unique history.

I have counseled people for many years from a diversity of ages, cultures and sexual orientations.
As a psychotherapist, I am continually committed to providing a safe and supportive experience for my clients. Using traditional and more current modalities I work to help people address behaviors that may affect interpersonal, relational, and career challenges. All are welcomed in therapy to learn new ways to manage the obstacles to personal social and occupational wellbeing. I work with people around longstanding issues of depression and anxiety, relationship difficulties, as well as adjustment to educational and career transitions.

My hope is to provide you with a confidential and objective space to explore your emotions and history in a sensitive and caring manner.
Many clients I've seen have struggled with depression, anxiety, trauma, adjustment issues, eating disorders, and LGBTQ+ issues. I have also provided support to loved ones as well. I like to provide a safe & nurturing space for you to explore your past and help develop your future. I use a strength's based and developmental approach to understand your needs and skills. I hope to be a space in your week for you to recharge, analyze yourself, and continue positive coping skills. I have over a decade's worth experience working with adolescents, students, and adults.

We all live life the way we know best. Sometimes, however, the ways in which we have learned to think, feel, and relate to others no longer work for us. I support clients as they cultivate more effective approaches to pursuing what really matters to them. As we get to know each other, we will draw from a variety of therapies based on what makes sense for you. I would welcome the chance to help you consider what to do with your one precious life.

For 10 years I’ve been part of the Harvard Medical School system, first as a trainee, now as faculty member. I'm trained primarily in psychodynamic therapy, but principles/interventions from other paradigms also inform my work. Ultimately, the nature of therapy depends on the patient and their goals. For this reason, the course of therapy is hard to describe, but it seems only to work amidst empathy, respect, and compassion, not to mention humor (sometimes life can only be laughed at). This is a perspective I lay out in some detail in a new two-volume book, published by Routledge, titled, "A Hu mane Vision of Clinical Psychology."
