Are you facing communication issues in your marriage, or have you experienced a profound loss? Are you navigating a stressful work life, or have you just been feeling "not yourself?" Something may be in the way. In the words of Gabor Maté, "Emotions are not a luxury; they are a necessity. They are the medicine." I strive to create a warm and supportive space for you to unpack and process those challenging feelings and experiences, to foster personal growth and resilience. As a licensed therapist in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Tennessee, I work with clients online as well as in-person at my office in Westport, MA.
I work with individuals and couples facing relationship challenges, loss, career difficulty, and anxiety. I also help students with school challenges and ADHD. With a background in film and theater, 6 years as an SAT/ACT tutor, and a 12-year career in corporate HR for startups, I bring a varied set of life experience and clinical training to our sessions.
Please reach out for an initial conversation. Looking forward to working with you.

I use what's called a "Person-centered" approach, trusting in the innate tendency and ability of each person to, in the right context, heal and come into wholeness on their own. To create that safe and nurturing context, I draw on advanced clinical training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, Jungian Psychotherapy, Somatic Psychotherapy, and Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction.
