If you have been thinking about finding support for yourself or your teen, I hope you will reach out to see if we might be a good fit.
DAYTIME/TELEHEALTH SESSIONS AVAILABLE I am an experienced clinician of approximately 20 years, with a private practice solely dedicated to work with TEENS, COLLEGE-AGE clients, and YOUNG ADULTS. Not only are these the age groups to which I am most drawn, I find that narrowing services to specific populations allows me to truly focus on and understand the unique needs and challenges of these groups. My style is described as warm, friendly and down-to-earth and I have had a lot of experience and success supporting hesitant and/or first-time clients in counseling/therapy.

For 8 years, I provided individual, group, and family therapy at McLean Hospital's adolescent treatment programs where I also held a faculty appointment at Harvard Medical School, supervised doctoral trainees, and began my private practice.
Currently accepting referrals! I provide individuals with the space to process challenges and help them identify and address the barriers impeding growth (unhelpful thinking styles, behaviors, relationship patterns, etc). I utilize interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy, and offer flexibility when needed to meet people where they are and address individual needs. I currently work with adolescents (13-17) and adults (18-60). My overall goal for family therapy is to improve communication, understanding, and connection between family members.

(New clients welcome...) Things happen, and they happen all the times, whether or not we are aware. We act out when we don't get what we want and when we get what we don't want. Sometimes we act out in ways that are self-sabotaging. We get overwhelmed at work and in relationships. All this is normal and yet limits one's potential to be successful and happy.

“Leap and the net will appear” is a quote by John Burroughs that carried me through my doctoral project and encapsulates how I approach therapy. Life presents us with challenges, and therapy offers a way to navigate them—but it requires a leap. As a clinical psychologist, I honor your decision to take that leap towards growth and healing, and I tailor my approach to help you reach your goals.

I listen with with empathy and reflect back my authentic response. I work best with people who are open to expanding their blind areas and their potential for growth in a supportive manner. Learning about the 'plumbing' of the nervous system can be helpful or finding a metaphor for change or discussing the latest science in psychology. I feel comfortable and confident with a wide range of issues and concerns. Over the years I have developed strong Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques for adults and complimentary expressive arts therapy techniques for youth.

In working with adolescents and young adults, clients often find themselves isolated from their environment and feeling that others around them cannot understand their experiences. Clients may need support in navigating life transitions and mental health challenges encountered along the way. These can range from diagnosed mental health disorders, family disturbances, to struggles connecting with peers.

I provide comprehensive and empathetic counseling to individuals of all ages. My in-person practice is most appropriate for children, families, and adults who prefer to meet face to face. My virtual practice specializes in care for parents — offering practical strategies for supporting child development, or just general mental health support during the often overwhelming parenting years. Whether you’re on a journey to heal your own childhood trauma, or you’re looking for support so you can best support your family, I believe that you are the expert of your own experience, and that value is foundational in treatment.
