Mental Health and Wellness! Are you struggling with ADHD symptoms; diagnosed, unmanaged, or untreated? Do you know about RSD (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria) and how it relates to ADHD? Do you have depression or trauma related to you relationships or family. Are you using drugs and alcohol to manage anxiety and depression, or trauma? During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

This practice is based upon the reality that a mother’s wellbeing cannot be understood or supported without respect for her “mom work.” Mom work is invisible work. So - mom worry, mom anxiety, mom blues, mom guilt, and most especially, mom anger, becomes a negative judgment of a mother's "normalcy," rather than what it truly is: mom reality. Not a diagnosis, not “what’s wrong with me,” not an inability to do the work. Just mom reality, unsupported by respect for her work, and ultimately, unsustainable. Unless we push back to reclaim this ancient journey. You may wish to glance at my website to explore what I mean by this.

As a clinical psychologist in the Boston area, I work with adults and older adolescents going through transitions, who would like to understand how their past affects them now, and who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed. If you are struggling with relationships, marital/family or work difficulties, depression, pandemic-related stress, anxiety, acculturation, career choices, college adjustment, grief, or other life problems, we can work together to reduce distress and work on patterns that interfere with your life to make lasting change. I also offer short-term therapy for college students located in MA during the summer.

Therapy supports well-being when the relationship helps us tap into our strengths and resources. My commitment to you is to build this kind of relationship. Results include improved mood, relationships,increased energy,

Symptoms arise in the context of trying to adapt to something difficult in one's life. This may be an adaptation to a painful relationship, a work situation, or a physical limitation. Symptom relief comes with an initial understanding of the meaning of the problem, and then working with specific strategies to manage the problem differently. Our work will focus on who you are as a person and how your particular set of symptoms or issues have evolved for you in the context of your life as a whole.

My practice is currently at capacity. I'm not able to accept new clients at this time. Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is the main treatment approach that I focus on in my practice. However, I incorporate phase-oriented trauma treatment, in a manner compatible with IFS, when appropriate (for example, support with developing means for effectively working with overwhelming symptoms). At times I utilize somatic interventions from other approaches and/or integrate EMDR.
