Hello,
I received my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Pacifica Graduate School, a humanistic program grounded in Jungian theory. My background is in treating trauma, grief, and attachment-related issues. Prior to becoming a psychologist, I taught in the Massachusetts Public Schools.
My main focus in working with clients is listening, allowing clients to unload their stories and listen to highlight their concerns. I reflect back to clients what I see as themes that need attention. I have experience with dream interpretation and with other imaginal work. I am direct and pragmatic to the extent that the client feels comfortable with that mode of intervention.
I hope that after a session with me, a client will feel heard, seen, and validated with a sense of being able to hold and to navigate overarching issues. My clients report experiencing a greater sense of clarity and confidence after their sessions.
