Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

Above all, I provide a safe and interactive environment. My training was originally psychoanalytic, but I use more cognitive behavioral therapy and a humanistic approach. I am a clinical psychologist with 17 years experience in the treatment of couples, families,and individuals. In addition to holding an MS/PhD in psychology, I have an MS in rehabilitation counseling. I treat people of all ages who have depression, anxiety, and substance abuse, as well as other issues. I specialize in adolescence, women's issues, relationship issues, disabilities, and career development. Treatment Modalities: cognitive behavioral, psychoanalytic, and family systems. I'm an award winning literary writer and was an American Psychological Association Health Policy Fellow. Clinical internships:Boston Children's Hospital,the Boston University Medical Center, and the Woodburn Center.
