Life throws a lot at us -- sometimes we just need to talk it out. I believe in the power of talking and the therapeutic relationship to help my clients better understand their inner worlds and cope with the complicated realities of life. Together, we strive to "connect the dots" that make you happier, healthier and more fulfilled. My work is informed by psychodynamic concepts — exploring how the unconscious and early experiences may impact one's emotions and relationship dynamics. I emphasize collaboration and open dialogue about our process together, and use a social justice lens to acknowledge the ways in which the socio-political context impacts our experience. For couples I will help you to hear each other and clarify your needs. Our aim in therapy will be to enable you to realize your relationship goals. Together we will also explore those "sticky" patterns that you might find yourselves stuck in, which contribute to strife in your relationship.

I have a Masters in Social Work from Boston College and completed extended training in psychodynamic psychotherapy at Cambridge Health Alliance/Harvard Medical School. I have experience working with folks with an array of psychological and social stressors, including anxiety, relationship issues, difficulties related to transitions or stage-of-life, depression, and self-esteem. My work is with individuals, couples, and families.

I look forward to having a conversation about the possibility of working together!
