My goal is to create a strong therapeutic relationship a safe, judgment-free space where you feel the trust and comfort necessary to do the work to become your best self. Good therapy doesn’t always feel good in the moment and processing through and understanding emotions, as well as making changes can be difficult. I am here to guide and support you through this process. By being here, you are already taking a step in the right direction.

I am licensed in MA and NY. I am straightforward, helping clients achieve behavioral change towards living in line with their values and priorities. I provide treatment that is founded on evidence based principles, meaning that I base treatment on knowledge gleaned from research and science while allowing for flexibility to accommodate to the individuals with whom I work. I am trained in a variety of treatment modalities and work from within an acceptance based cognitive behavior therapy framework. Balancing acceptance of our experiences and channeling our strengths towards behavior change is, I find, the most useful path forward.

Coming from a Lead Clinician role for a Virtual Partial Hospitalization (PHP) Program, I don't believe in an "ideal" client. In my previous role, we rarely had insight into a client's clinical presentation before their intake. I have learned to tailor my approach to each client while aiding them in learning emotional regulation techniques and interventions to sustain sobriety.

Imagine if you: 1) knew exactly how to bring up your hurt feelings about your spouse's sarcastic comment without starting a fight, 2) believed that your spouse has your back when your mother-in-law criticizes your parenting decisions, 3) felt emotionally connected enough to enthusiastically say yes to sex, 4) understood each other when it comes to circular disagreements (you know the ones: which in-laws’ house to spend Thanksgiving at this year? who gets up with the baby? why is she buying new shoes AGAIN?), and 5) could come to a compromise without feeling like you got run over by a bulldozer. Welcome. You're in the right place.

I often hear my clients say, “I wish I had started therapy sooner!” That doesn’t have to be you. Is therapy hard at times? Absolutely! It’s also an extremely rewarding personal growth opportunity that many define as “Life-Changing.” For over a decade, I’ve helped clients thrive personally & professionally as they learn to heal/manage: 1) Mental Health 2) Self-Confidence 3) Imposter Syndrome and 4) Relationships. Through experience gained in the US & abroad, I’ve developed a therapeutic style described as empowering, collaborative & interactive. I truly believe each client is HUMAN & not their symptoms, life stressors, or illness.

It's okay if you need healing and a way forward and have no idea of where to start. Maybe you’ve tried individual or couples therapy but it’s been more harmful than helpful because your therapist didn’t understand emotional abuse and toxic relationship dynamics. Applying tools intended for two healthy people doesn’t work when there’s a Narcissist and/or abuse present in the relationship. Working with someone who understands patterns of abuse can help you make the right decision for yourself. I am trained in Narcissistic Abuse and High Conflict Divorce Coaching. - I also work with Millennial Women on life transitions (website below)

WELCOME.What brings someone to therapy is always deeply personal and deeply compelling. Such an experience is unique, and complex. Thus to fully acknowledge, validate, and to understand requires skillful integration of listening, empathy, theoretical knowledge, clinical acumen, compassion and, most of all, willingness to fully engage in the process. I am a seasoned clinician well-versed in a variety of therapeutic approaches. This offers each person I work with an approach that is individually tailored to your unique goals, needs, and challenges. Inherent in this process is open dialogue so we maximize the efficacy of our work together.

Life is not about IF we will face difficult times, it's about preparing for WHEN. I enjoy working with adults and children who struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, cultural demands, grief/loss, and complex life transitions (including serious illness such as cancer, etc.). I want to help you discover meaning and hope through our intentional work together. I am LGBTQ+ affirming.
