Therapy that is effective needs to include a great deal of trust between client and therapist to allow this process to happen and direct communication is key to establishing this type of working relationship.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Emotion-Focused Brief Therapy both often help clients to reach their goals in times of a crisis or major life transition. Working collaboratively, we make sense of complex situations, create new ways forward, and develop new narratives. Sessions are tailored around helping my clients achieve their goals in measurable ways by finding solutions to problems that are challenging and creating obstacles to living a life that is meaningful to them.

I partner with individuals or couples as they cope with life transitions. I firmly believe that a positive relationship with a therapist can help you lead a more fulfilling life. I work to empower my clients to manage grief, depression, anxiety, and the stress we face when we lose a loved one, when starting or ending relationships, when becoming parents or when having professional challenges. I think it's a privilege to bear witness to your experience and I know the decision to seek support is not an easy one.

I assist clients who are wanting to improve their lives in significant ways. While I specialize in treating eating disorders, anxiety and depression, most clients also come to me with related issues of trauma, self-confidence, struggles with change/transition, work, family relationships and other stressors. I see therapy as a collaborative process taking place in the context of an empathic relationship where support and appropriate challenge are offered. I encourage individuals to learn about themselves, understand the meaning behind symptoms and develop skills that enable them to take positive action toward well-being.

My practice primarily treats children, adolescents, and adults through the modalities of individual,family therapy and parental guidance. I approach each client's issues, situations with care and compassion in order to create a non-judgemental space so they can develop their strengths and gain new insights into their symptoms and behaviors. I enjoy the process of building the therapeutic relationship as I believe that it is through relationships people can heal. Much of my experience is treating trauma; anxiety; mood disorders; and transitional issues such as divorce, adoption, loss, and relational issues.

I combine the transformative power of the arts with the strength of the mind-body connection to help grow a relationship with oneself that feels genuine and kind. I work with individuals in areas of depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, and grief and loss.

Therapy is a collaborative process in which people can make meaning of their current life situations, develop insight about the impact of past experiences, and gain clarity about intentions and goals. I bring compassion, humor, genuine curiosity, and a sense of shared humanity to help people feel more connected to themselves and to others. My areas of specialization include LGBTQ identities, life transitions, anxiety and mood issues, and relationship concerns.

A wise doctor once wrote: "It is more important to understand the person who has a symptom than the symptom a person has." This is even more true for emotional problems than physical ones. Likewise, without understanding the context of a person's life and family, past and present -- one cannot really begin to know the person. I have worked for many years with men and women of all ages: with addictions, family and relationship issues, and the universal challenges of depression and anxiety. Certainly there are commonalities among the problems they present, but it is the uniqueness of each of my clients that leads to change.

After gaining clinical experience in academic, psychiatric, and medical hospital settings, I've chosen to specialize in supporting adolescents and adults in order to address anxiety, life adjustments, and mood disorders through a trauma-informed, strengths-based lens. I take an integrative, relational approach to therapy. At its core, therapy is about building a trusting relationship and rapport to create a meaningful holding space for every client. I believe in client's expertise in their own life, and strive to center that in our work.

I value the client-therapist connection above all else, and believe that meaningful therapeutic work can be accomplished only in the context of a safe and secure relationship.
I am a clinical psychologist who works with adolescents and young adults struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, self-harm, trauma, and interpersonal difficulties. In addition to working as a therapist, I hold faculty appointments at Harvard Medical School and McLean Hospital, where I previously worked as a staff psychologist and continue to serve as a supervisor. My experience in these roles enables me to work effectively with individuals whose distress is particularly overwhelming and incapacitating.

Are you struggling with a narcissistic parent, spouse, or boss? You'll learn how to handle this painful relationship in the right way for you.
“You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.” Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D. I’m a psychologist with 30 years’ experience. I help children, teens, and adults tackle anxiety: generalized anxiety (constant worry), panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobias, and social anxiety. You'll learn how anxiety works, and we'll develop the treatment plan that's right for you or your child, based on CBT, in person exposure therapy for OCD, or parent coaching. Clinical Hypnosis is an evidence-based treatment for anxiety, pain, and managing habits such as smoking/vaping and dealing with difficult issues from the past.

As a clinically trained psychologist with over 25 years of experience, I have worked with a wide range of populations including children, adolescents and adults. 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, work, sexuality, life changes and other stressful situations. The couples I work with are looking to heal and grow from a wide range of issues, from infidelity to parenting concerns. I help people who need to re-imagine what their relationship can be and want to expand their ability to communicate effectively.

I treat adults--young and old--struggling with relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, grief, addictions, career confusion, and other life challenges.
About forty years ago while attending Smith College graduate program, I learned that psychotherapy is the study of "the vicissitudes of love." Over my long career of counseling individuals and couples, both as a clinical director of a large outpatient mental health center, and for these past decades in private practice, the ups and downs of life and love have been my focus. With warmth, compassion and humor, I help people find their answers, learn coping skills, and have difficult conversations--internally and externally.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” - Carl Jung.

My hope for those with whom I work is increased self-awareness, enriched relationships, deeper emotional engagement, and healthier, more flexible functioning. My goals in providing therapy are to help people understand themselves and their concerns more fully and to facilitate the development of new skills for coping with what's troubling them.

You may be seeking therapy to ease the pain of depression, anxiety, trauma or loss; or because you are struggling with relationship and other interpersonal issues. Maybe something just does not “feel right,” preventing you from moving forward. Perhaps, you are challenged by existential questions and wish to explore your identity or find greater meaning in your life. What is causing you pain or holding you back may be a known challenge or problem, or an unexamined part of yourself that causes you to feel stuck. Whatever brings you here, you already possess the courage to seek help and the hope that your life can be better.

In building a strong and trusting relationship with you or your child, I can help build a deeper understanding of what gets in the way and why- and through this process, we can get you "unstuck," feeling better and moving in the right direction.
I am a clinical psychologist in Concord, MA and also teach and supervise through Harvard Medical School, where I've been an instructor for over 20 years. I specialize in college students and adults who have been struggling with depression, anxiety, and other emotional symptoms that have interfered with work/school and relationships. I also work with adolescents who seem angry, unhappy or who are struggling in school. If you (or your child) have felt stuck and unhappy and want to move to a happier, more satisfying and productive place, I can help. I see clients in person, on Zoom, or some combination of both.
