As a licensed mental health counselor, I work with adult clients to address anxiety, depression, and life stressors. Each person has their own strengths, and I enjoy helping clients work with their individual tools to find sustainable balance. From years of experience working in outpatient therapy, I have developed an eclectic approach to counseling- pulling from ACT, mindfulness based, solution focused, and nature based orientations. I specialize in treating anxiety related disorders, but work with many clients struggling with mood disorders, previous trauma, and difficult life transitions. I understand that getting started with therapy or working with a new counselor can be a daunting process, and strive to create an environment in which clients feel supported and collaborative. If this sounds like a good fit, please feel free to reach out!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in treating adolescents and young adults. I have almost 25 years of experience working with individuals and families. I love supporting college students who are in a unique position of figuring out who they are and how they want to be in the world. It is a time of great transition and growth. I specialize in treating eating disorders and body image, and I am experienced in treating anxiety, depression, relationship problems, life transitions, stress, and addiction. I balance insight and understanding with skills and practical tools for change. I believe that people always have the capacity to grow and change. We’ll work together to determine your goals for treatment and to develop a plan that meets those goals. I believe psychotherapy is most effective within the context of a trusting relationship, and I work hard to establish a real connection without judgement with each individual. People describe me as warm, compassionate, supportive, and I have also been known to be direct and humorous. I look forward to the opportunity to help you to be the best person you can be.
I work with teens (15+) and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, medical issues, grief and more. I have a special interest in working with individuals or their loved ones as they navigate significant illness, grief/loss or other issues stemming from receiving complex medical care. Medical journeys are often scary and fraught with obstacles, and I strive to be a therapeutic partner as you or a loved one find your way through.
Welcome! I'm a licensed psychologist specializing in providing treatment to young adults facing a variety of mental health concerns. I am committed to understanding and addressing the unique challenges that young people (especially girls and women) encounter today. I strive to foster a safe, non-judgmental, and nurturing environment for clients to explore their emotions, better understand and express themselves, and develop the resilience and coping skills required to effectively manage the challenges they encounter. I employ evidence-based therapeutic approaches that are tailored to each individual's unique needs and developmental stage. Common concerns I treat include: anxiety and stress, depression/mood disorders, behavioral and emotional dysregulation, social problems, family conflict, and trauma-related issues. I also provide comprehensive psychological assessments. My psychological evaluations can help gain diagnostic clarity, identify underlying issues (e.g., learning disorders, ADHD, mood disorders, etc.), and assist with treatment and educational planning.
I work with college students impacted by trauma and those who struggle with attention deficit and social difficulties in a long-term therapeutic relationship. I am particularly passionate about working with those on the LGBTQ+ spectrum. I have expertise in relational trauma, substance abuse, and social difficulties in the context of major life transitions. I am also practiced in working through executive dysfunction and autism spectrum disorders. I also conduct neuropsychological and psychological assessment and testing. If you feel that you are struggling with attention, social deficits, memory, planning, or other areas of executive functioning, neuropsychological testing might help.
Navigating through life can be incredibly challenging! I work with adults, young adults, and teenagers to implement desired change in their lives. I offer clients a comfortable, safe and supportive place to address their concerns in order to be able to heal and grow. My unique professional background, which includes working in athletic and academic settings, has helped prepare me to work with a wide variety of clients. I take a flexible approach that is client-focused, with an emphasis on supporting my clients to create the desired change in their lives. With a background in exercise science and nutrition, I believe in taking a holistic approach towards treatment. I utilize a variety of different methods to best support my clients. Seeking therapy can be a challenging first step, but it can also be the most important step towards healing and growth. I look forward to connecting with you and discussing how we can collaboratively achieve your treatment goals.
I create warm, accepting, and collaborative relationships that anchor and support people as they problem-solve, deepen their understanding of their own needs, set goals, and move towards the changes they want in their lives. Trained as a psychologist and psychoanalyst, I emphasize the way that relationships shape us. I work with adults-- including undergraduate and graduate students- who are struggling with change or loss related to life transitions, relational issues, aloneness, anxiety, trauma, achievement issues, and grief. I'm an active listener, who is described by my patients as warm, flexible, and collaborative. I see people in my office, located in Concord center or via telehealth.
I understand how anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, grief, ADHD, difficult relationships, major life transitions, medical conditions, and other mental health challenges often impede one’s ability to fully engage in work, school, hobbies, and relationships. With over 25 years of experience, I provide the support and treatment needed to feel better and engage in a meaningful and enjoyable life. My therapeutic approach includes acceptance, warmth, humor, and skill to create a safe and secure space for thoughts and feelings to be explored freely, healing to occur, strengths to be recognized, and personal goals to be achieved. My clinical work uses many therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, expressive therapy, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness tools. I am readily available for a complimentary connection via email, phone, online or in-person to discuss my practice further. I look forward to hearing from you to provide additional information and detail about how I can be of support.
I believe therapy offers the opportunity to become who you really are. People are often unaware of all of the factors that are keeping them stuck, creating dissatisfaction, or causing distressing symptoms. By developing a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships through therapy, it becomes possible to experience your life more authentically, feel better in your relationships, and move toward what is enriching or important to you. I provide a reliable and empathic setting where we can carefully understand the difficulties you are experiencing – leading to relief, personal growth and lasting change. I provide psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. Of note, I have a sliding scale for psychoanalysis patients. As a board-certified psychiatrist I can also prescribe, when indicated, psychiatric medications – either in combination with or separate from therapy. When medications are considered, I will work collaboratively with you to make shared treatment decisions while carefully weighing the risks, benefits and alternatives to medication. I have extensive experience helping patients with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, low self-esteem, ADHD, OCD, identity questions and more. I also have a special interest in working with LGBTQ+ individuals. In addition to my practice, I’m also a Teaching Associate at Harvard Medical School and a member of the Boston Psychoanalytic Society & Institute. I completed my Adult Psychiatry Residency training at Cambridge Health Alliance / Harvard Medical School. I welcome you to email me or call with questions or to schedule a free consultation.
We welcome and support clients of all races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, religious backgrounds, and people with disabilities. We have behavioral health providers with diverse approaches to treatment, who collaborate with you to create a treatment environment that feels most helpful to the goals you’re trying to achieve. Just by looking; you are taking the first step in self-care. You are showing that you have the strength to seek support, even if its hard for you to do! Let us help you gain tools to manage life's stressors in tolerable ways.
I am a warm, compassionate, and experienced clinical social worker. I have helped a wide range of individuals and couples as they’ve faced difficult life transitions and challenges. I will invite you to bring your whole self to our work together. I will ask questions that may challenge your beliefs. We will work together as a team to help you feel better, live happier, and with less stress.
As a psychotherapist, I've had the privilege of helping clients navigate a wide variety of challenges. At its foundation, therapy is relational; it encourages immense vulnerability and asks us to place our trust in someone entirely new. The most rewarding sessions can emerge from intimate, yet difficult, conversations. For individuals and couples seeking services, I specialize in sexual health concerns, relational problems, life transitions, men’s issues, trauma, and any co-occurring anxiety and depression that may accompany these topics. When I meet with clients, I hope to nurture a safe, warm, and affirming environment. I approach clinical work through a non-pathologizing lens and value the knowledge, wisdom, and intuition that are developed through one's experiences. I operate from a place of empathy, curiosity, and cultural humility when navigating every interaction. In pursuit of providing the best mental health care, I completed an advanced certificate in sexual health and sex therapy at the University of Michigan. For individuals and couples wanting to address sexual health topics, I welcome conversations related to non-monogamy/polyamory, intimacy/connection, sexual shame/empowerment, desire discrepancies and low desire, sexual functioning concerns, and trauma. As a queer clinician, I am committed to improving the mental health of the LGBTQ+ community, yet I invite clients of any background to explore services. Not all people come to therapy with clear intentions for this work; some merely sense that they may benefit from additional support. Wherever you are in this journey, I hope to join you along the way.
Finding a therapist who really understands you can make all the difference. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, seen, and accepted for who you are. My goal is to create a space where you can drop the mask and work through what’s holding you back—with compassion, humor, and zero judgment. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or just feeling stuck, I’ll meet you where you’re at and help you build the tools to move forward. As a trauma-focused therapist, I use EMDR, TF-CBT, and other trauma models to help kids, teens, and adults feel more grounded, confident, and in control of their lives. I work closely with parents using evidence-based strategies to strengthen connections and support your child’s growth at home. I’m also passionate about providing LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC affirming care—everyone deserves a space that feels inclusive. You don’t have to face everything on your own. Let’s work together to figure out what healing looks like for you.
