Choosing to begin therapy is making a commitment to yourself and taking a step towards a better life. Some people come to therapy looking to change specific behaviors, alleviate symptoms of anxiety or depression, or learn new coping skills. Others want to understand themselves and their relationships better. Still others are longing for greater meaning and fulfillment. I am passionate about helping people make changes in their lives and am honored to serve as guide, coach, companion, and witness to my clients’ journeys.
I take an active, collaborative, compassionate and relational approach to evidence-based treatments for mood, anxiety, and personality disorders. I am particularly interested in issues of women’s empowerment and overall health; individuation and identity in young adults; and the challenges that frequently arise in creating and raising a family.
Through my training at Boston and Harvard Universities, and my current appointment as a supervisor at McLean Hospital / Harvard Medical School, I have developed an expertise in tailoring and personalizing Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral (DBT) Therapies to meet the needs of clients with a diverse range of struggles, strengths, and goals. I look forward to connecting with you.
