Accepts

Aetna and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts

Specializes in

Anxiety, Depression, LGBTQIA+, and Trauma

Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in working with teens and adults. I work with individuals who have difficulty regulating intense emotions, have depression or anxiety, have experienced trauma, are looking to learn new coping skills, or are exploring their gender identity or sexual orientation.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I approach therapy primarily from behavioral, cognitive, and mindfulness-based perspectives. I have specific expertise in: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and anti-oppressive care for the LGBTQIA+ community.

What you can expect from our first session

I strive to build a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for working together, one characterized by compassion, curiosity, open-mindedness, humor, and genuineness. I seek to work with you to focus on the changes that matter most in your life and are the most meaningful.
