We all have the capacity to live a full and happy life yet daily living can sometimes feel stressful and overwhelming. Anxiety, depression, self-doubt, relationship distress, or longings for increased balance and satisfaction in life are common difficulties. True psychotherapy combining kindness and wisdom can lead to deep and lasting change when tailored to each client's personal life challenges and hopes.
My core values are to listen carefully, participate actively, and perhaps most importantly, be compassionate, fully present, and validating. I have found that these qualities create a therapy relationship where clients feel secure and empowered to explore and work through their concerns.

Services
I received my Ph.
D. in Clinical Psychology from Boston University and a Master's degree in Counseling and Consulting Psychology from Harvard University.
My formal clinical training includes a two-year practicum placement at the Brookline Community Mental Health Center, an intensive pre-doctoral internship at McLean Hospital, and a post-doctoral fellowship at Harvard Community Health Plan.
In these different settings I learned to provide long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy, short-term solution-focused therapy, stress management techniques and relaxation skills and strategies.

My approach to psychotherapy is best described as humanistic and eclectic.
A humanistic perspective means that I see each client as an individual and complex human being with all the needs, fears, and longings that we all feel.
I see myself as a guide with training and experience and I see my clients as the experts with regard to their own lives.
Through my questioning, comments, and observations, and their expertise with regard to their experience, we work as a team to achieve their goals.
My eclectic approach means that I offer guidance and care from a variety of perspectives and disciplines including cognitive-behavioral theory, psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, and mind-body techniques which include mindfulness and self-compassion.
