Great to meet you!

I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology and taught at the Harvard Medical School for years. I also served as Chief of Mental Health at Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates for ten years. With a blend of wisdom, humor, and personalized psychotherapy, and with over 40 years of experience, I'm here to help you through life's transitions, assist professionals in recovering from burnout, and navigate the tricky waters of couples' conflicts.

My approach to therapy

I'll help you to gradually transition from the experience of "problem saturation" to one of possibilities and potential solutions. I firmly believe that the more we talk about solutions, the more attainable they become.

What you can expect from me

Strength-based. Empathic, Conversational. Positive and Affirming.
