Waitlist for new clients
Hello! I provide in-person and virtual psychotherapy sessions for teens ages 14+, as well as adults. My clinical specialties include the treatment of eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma. In my practice, I use tenets of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to provide support, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and facilitate behavioral change. I am passionate about using an emotionally-focused therapy approach to help people increase awareness of their emotions in order to better understand and face them rather than suppressing them.

I help girls learn to manage their mind (their way of thinking) so they can manage stress and anxious feelings; Understand their thoughts and emotions, then develop skills to make those thoughts and emotions productive; Decode friendships, relationships, and other tricky social situations at school and home; Build self-esteem with guided introspection; Address body image and lifestyle choices; And face whatever challenges life throws at them.

My ideal client is a person dedicated to making positive changes in her/his life. These adjustments may be as simple as a new hair style or as complex as brain surgery. I invite the client to tell me about himself, including hobbies and interests. What is he most proud of? What might he like to improve? What was the nicest thing anyone ever said about him? What really hurt? I encourage the client to comment on the paintings in the room and what they might have in common. They all have something to do with going somewhere. I tell them that my favorite professor at Boston College, William Meissner. S. J. said of therapy, "It's all

I am always curious about how we become who we are and as someone once told me, “A person who enters therapy is an experience that wants to happen not a problem to be solved.” My focus is to encourage people to stay curious and open to possibilities of learning more about themselves, creating a supportive safe environment that supports positive movement and change. I stress the importance seeing oneself fully, psychologically, physically and spiritually. All these are important ways of supporting one’s life. I see myself as warm, present, accessible and being of help to accomplish this.

Everyone needs support at times of transition and stress. These situations may be varied, from relationship difficulties, to illness, to the death of someone important. Or you might be in a place of wanting to have a deeper, more connected understanding of yourself. Whatever brings you to therapy, I am here to gently support you while also playing an engaged role in our time together.

I have over 10 years of therapy experience helping clients with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, conflicts around cultural identity, life transitions, and academic and career struggles. I work pragmatically and collaboratively with clients while providing a warm, welcoming, culturally-sensitive, and interactive psychotherapy space. In a collaborative manner, we explore patterns of thinking, feeling, relating, and behavior that contribute to unfulfilling relationships and struggles at home, school, or work. We work together toward making emotional and behavioral shifts that lead to increased purpose and fulfillment.

Over the years as a therapist, I have found that the common theme amongst my clients is not their diagnosis or their problems but their deep desire for Calmness, Clarity & Connection. They seek therapy because something is not right in their lives and they want to find a better way. The ingredients to healing are found in these three elements. Whether it is through individual therapy, teen support/skill building, The c3 Method or even within the audience of my public speaking events, my clients engage in a process that leads them away from their struggles to a place of Calmness, Clarity and Connection.
