As a school psychologist and a family therapist for over 30 years, it has been my pleasure and privlege to work with children and families. My work includes, but is not limited to, helping children with: social anxiety, task and school performance issues, "big feelings" and high level of reactivity, generalized anxiety, grief, fearfulness, sense of inferiority, and trouble with recurring thoughts. Some of these traits fall within various diagnoses (such as ADHD. Anxiety Disorder, Neurodivergence) but your personal concerns about your child are what I am listening for, closely, as each child is a unique individual. My office has space for expressive play therapy with art materials, sand tray, puppets, toys and games. Parents are invited to stay and play with their child for the whole session or a part of a session. I make therapy fun for children so that they will want to participate and become curious about themselves and their behaviors and responses. I help them to discover their own creative inner resources that can be available to them in times of stress. I also counsel and support parenting practices which are helpful for both parent and child. “It is in playing and only in playing that the individual child or adult is able to be creative and to use the whole personality, and it is only in being creative that the individual discovers the self.” (Donald Winicott)

I specialize in working with adolescents, college students, young adults, and parents. My clinical work focuses on anxiety, obsessive-compulsive challenges (OCD), attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), emotion regulation, perfectionism, and life transitions. I work with clients who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from their goals, helping them develop the skills and insight needed to create meaningful, lasting change. My approach is grounded in acceptance and commitment therapy and integrates dialectical behavior therapy. I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative, individualized, and active. Together, we explore patterns that contribute to distress while building practical, evidence-based strategies that foster greater psychological flexibility and support values-based action. I have extensive training in evidence-based parent interventions, including parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT), and I work with parents seeking support with emotion regulation and behavioral challenges. I completed my pre-doctoral internship at Cambridge Health AllianceHarvard Medical School.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each individual.

My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can heal, build confidence, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” — Carl Jung I believe meaningful change begins with deeper self-understanding. My approach to therapy is thoughtful, collaborative, and tailored to each individual, creating a space where insight, emotional clarity, and lasting growth can unfold. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, sleep concerns, and substance use. Together, we move beyond symptom relief to explore underlying patterns, strengthen resilience, and build more adaptive ways of relating to yourself and others. I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and draw from a range of evidence-based, integrative approaches, allowing treatment to be both effective and highly individualized. I have extensive experience working with clients of all ages and backgrounds. In addition to individual therapy, I offer interpersonal process groups for those interested in deepening self-awareness and enhancing their relationships. My practice offers a supportive, confidential environment where you can engage in meaningful, focused work at your own pace. I offer a complimentary consultation and welcome you to reach out.
