Great to meet you!

I want to help anyone looking to feel better. I help others find relief from various mental health conditions. I also help clients find and address what is preventing their ability to function, grow, thrive, or just relax! I also enjoy helping people discover more about themselves and reconnect with their sense of meaning or purpose in life. Therapy takes effort and commitment and, in exchange, provides freedom from suffering. Let me help you discover the gift I believe therapy can give to you.

My approach to therapy

I'm experienced in the treatment of anxiety, depression and mood disorders using skills-based therapies including CBT and DBT. I have a Harvard Medical School appointment of Instructor at MGH, where I specialize in treating trauma and addictions. I also apply Logotherapy and Existential approaches to help people find meaning and purpose in their lives.

What you can expect from me

I am empathic first and foremost and want to establish a meaningful relationship with those I help. Since becoming a therapist, it has been my privilege to join others on their journeys of self-discovery, recovery and growth in therapy. Please contact me if you would like me to offer my skills, dedication and experience to assist you on your journey.
