As a psychodynamic psychologist, I approach the therapeutic relationship as a powerful medium for exploring and reworking longstanding problematic relationship patterns. At the same time, I am committed to working flexibly and pragmatically, and frequently draw upon cognitive-behavioral, cultural, trauma-informed and neuropsychological perspectives relevant for individual clients. I am committed to addressing issues of class, race, gender, sexual orientation and ethnicity which may be relevant for my clients.

We all, at times, encounter periods of pain or discomfort related to our relationships, work, responsibilities, or sense of self. It takes courage, trust, and a certain amount of hope to reach out for help. My approach to therapy is rooted in psychodynamic theory. I take seriously the task of understanding the unique narrative of your life, carefully listening to and reflecting on your experiences to unravel how they've sculpted you into the person you are today. Together, we will work to understand your mind, enabling us to confront the challenges and conflicts you face with newfound clarity and strength.

Offering a compassionate, safe place in which you can explore current life challenges that may be difficult to face alone. Relationship conflicts, separations, loss, job changes, eating problems and other addictions, medical illness, mid-life and other transitions often require working in partnership with someone who can help you find your own inner resources to move forward in your life. I have thirty-six years of experience as a medical practitioner working with diverse populations, including college students, young, middle age and older adults. I bring that experience to my psychotherapy work, recognizing the whole person, mind, body and spirit.

Are you experiencing attention or memory issues, brain fog, or other cognitive-based difficulties? Are these impacting your relationships, job/career success, or self-esteem? I conduct neuropsychological evaluations through comprehensive testing, after which I provide tailored recommendations based on your own relative strengths and areas of needed improvement. I also regularly see people who are recovering from brain injury (TBI/concussions, head trauma, new-onset neurological diagnoses), who might be struggling with cognitive, emotional, and/or psychological recovery.

For the past 10+ years I have been in private practice serving kids, adolescents, and adults. I provide neuropsychological and psychodiagnostic assessment and consultation as well as individual and group therapy using a strengths-based approach. Much of my practice focuses on helping Middle School and High School students who are struggling with learning, social, and emotional adjustment through collaboratively identifying the obstacles and challenges they may be facing and helping them to recognize and embrace their qualities and strengths. Evaluation also involves working closely with parents and helping to identify the most appropriate schools, supports, and home strategies.

I help young people, couples, families and adults with problems in living through brief and long-term therapy as well and through psychoeducational evaluations. Until my recent move from New York to Cambridge, Massachusetts, I ran an externship in working with children and adolescents for many years. I have supervised, taught, presented, and published; I have seen such a variety of problems that I am reluctant to say that I specialize. I approach people as individuals rather than as diagnostic categories, and don't assume a single treatment approach for everyone. The relationship we build is our best tool for making a difference.
