I have worked as a therapist for over 27 years in East Boston, Chelsea and Cambridge. I specialized in trauma informed care and use DBT and CBT techniques as well as many others.
My approach to therapy is tailored to each client's needs. While I naturally gravitate toward a psychodynamic approach, I also integrate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and mind-body practices to provide effective care.
I always start with asking what the client is hoping to gain from therapy and about their previous experiences with it.
I try to gather as much of their history as possible while respecting that they may not feel comfortable sharing their entire story during the first session.
