About

I thrive in moments of authentic one-to-one connection. Being a therapist means that my success, and the success of my clients, depends on the quality of those moments. That challenge is one I take on in every appointment. The change that those accumulated moments can bring, with sustained emotional effort, is why I do this work.

The treatment approaches I use vary from client to client, but all of my work is grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy. My training and work experience includes:

• Fellowship in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute

• Psychotherapy fellowship at The Danielsen Institute at Boston University

• Stress Management and Resiliency Training at Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at MGH

• Behavioral Health fellowship at Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates

• Stress and the Relaxation Response: The Fundamentals of Mind-Body Medicine at MGH Psychiatry Academy

• Certificate in Cognitive and Behavioral Interventions from Boston University School of Social Work Professional Education Program

• Continuing education includes: mindfulness meditation; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy; bereavement and mourning; motivational interviewing; Internal Family Systems; ADHD; nonviolent communication; mindful self-compassion; hope and flourishing

• Grief Treatment Certification

• Master in Social Work from Simmons School of Social Work
