Short Bio or Description of your Practice (Optional)
Beneficial therapy is founded upon a strong relationship between the therapist and the client. There is something healing about connecting with another person, about being seen, about feeling understood. With each of my clients, I work to create a warm and attuned relationship where they know they will be met with care, respect and empathy.
I also recognize that for some people, especially people with non-dominant cultural identities, mental health care has not always felt welcoming. With that in mind, I work to provide a space where everyone can experience a sense of belonging and feel safe being their full selves. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming practitioner.
With over a decade of experience working with adolescents and adults, I have helped people who have sought mental health care for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and questions about their identity.
Through our work together, my clients often find they are better able to connect with their strengths, treat themselves more gently, clarify their values, pursue their goals, and experience a greater sense of ease.
My clinical approach is grounded in attachment theory and neurobiology, and draws on concepts from psychodynamic theory, Internal Family Systems Therapy and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, as well as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
In addition to my work as a therapist, I offer clinical consultation and supervision, and am on the faculty of the Boston University School of Social Work and the Harvard Medical School Department of Psychiatry. I also work as a special education advocate in private practice.
