My Approach to Helping

I am an experienced psychologist who works exclusively with adults in individual psychotherapy. In my practice, I see people with a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, and relationship issues. In general, I help my patients identify and understand how experiences from their childhood are affecting them in their lives today, and help them work through those experiences so that they can live happier, more contented lives. If necessary, I teach my patients skills to help them manage their symptoms so they can function better in their day-to-day lives.

More Info About My Practice

I completed advanced post-doctoral training at a Harvard-affiliated hospital in the treatment of complex PTSD and dissociative disorders. I am very experienced at treating DID. I am also trained in EMDR. My office is within walking distance of the T stops at both Harvard and Porter Squares.
