In Person Therapists in Medford, MA

I have been a psychologist in private practice in North Cambridge since 1996. I work with a wide range of individuals, from college students to older adults, who seek relief from painful and life-disrupting depression and anxiety. I also work with people who struggle with disordered eating and body image, with a focus on challenging diet culture and fostering self-acceptance and a healthy relationship with food and exercise. Many of the people I see are looking for help with difficulties during life transitions and in their relationships with romantic partners, parents, children, friends, and co-workers.

Starting therapy is a powerful step toward personal growth and fulfillment. In my therapy practice I strive to create a welcoming, collaborative space for clients. I provide individual therapy to preteens, adolescents and adults. I have experience working with a variety of treatment issues including anxiety, trauma, life transitions, depression, chronic illness, and challenging relationships.

I am a Jungian analyst and a clinical psychologist. I do psychotherapy with adults who have anxiety, depression, relationship problems or problems of self-acceptance. As a Jungian analyst, I work with adults who want to further their self-understanding, and possibly work on dreams, spirituality and find more fulfillment in their lives and relationships.

I love working with people to explore ways to overcome challenges in life together. Many of my clients struggle with managing depression, anxiety, gender identity, emotion regulation and expression, dysfunctional family communication, traumatic experiences, as well as acculturation difficulties (you know, having trouble to "fit in" a new culture or a new environment). As many wise people said; if you are wonder about having a therapist, you should get one (me or someone else)!

I meet each client with deep empathy and optimism, empowering clients to tap into inner strengths, learn new ways to overcome challenges, and feel better. If you are a trauma survivor, battling anxiety, or overwhelmed with life's challenges, my aim is to offer hope and a safe space to heal. I draw from many evidence-based approaches, such as mindfulness, trauma modalities (EMDR, body-based/somatic), CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and DBT. In my 15th year in practice, am grateful for the opportunity to support each person's journey to wellness by partnering to create a relationship based on trust, transparency, and connection.

Feeling isolated, confused, overwhelmed, and not knowing where to go from here? You are not alone! Life is full of uncertainty, changes, losses, gains, and growth. Some are expected, some are not. Therapy can help you give voice to your own narratives, make sense of experiences, better understand and embrace who you are, and empower yourself for meaningful changes. This is a journey to enhance relationship with self and others, to extend the sense of safety and belonging, to know the art of accepting and forgiving, to be in touch with resiliency, to move toward self-compassion, and to have the courage of fully being and thriving.
