I see therapy as a unique opportunity to try out new ways of relating: with more honesty, more curiosity, more courage. I work with adults, couples, adolescents, and families of all ages and configurations who are seeking greater joy, ease, and satisfaction in their lives and relationships. The search for a therapist may begin with a crisis or trauma, or might be a step in a more gradual process of self-searching and growth. Whatever brings you to this moment, you are likely hoping to feel different in some way than you do today.
I have supported individuals, couples, and families of all configurations through relationship/family conflict and crisis, struggles with grief, trauma, fertility & parenting, spirituality, creative blocks, illness, immigration, and student issues. I aim to meet you where you are at, and I welcome exploration of racial, sexual, and gender identities.
I am a Harvard Medical School Psychology Instructor trained in psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive behavioral & mindfulness-based therapies, but I believe a strong sense of connection is the most important element in seeking a therapist. If you have out-of-network benefits, do not hesitate to inquire. The reimbursement process is often easy and affordable.

We have many commonalities in the ways we experience pain and protect ourselves against further hurt. At the same time, the devil is in the details: in the particularities of our childhoods, families, social identities, and relationship histories. I draw from a range of modalities to delve into the individual and the universal on the path toward growth and healing.
