Do you overthink everything or are you too caught up in the “what ifs” in your head that you feel overwhelmed all the time? Are you too focused on what someone else wants or needs that you have lost track of yourself? Maybe you are your own worst enemy-- with a well-honed inner critic that likes to shit talk you and remind you of all the things you are messing up or getting wrong. You are doing your best- caffeine, multitasking, or white knuckling it may be getting you through (kind of), but at the end of the day you are exhausted and burnt out. I help folks identify the different parts of themselves that keep them on autopilot in their life. Maybe its your people pleaser, perfectionist or inner critic that keep you up at night or keeps you stuck. We can take time to explore whether numbing out with doomscrolling, substances, or constant distractions is keeping you from feeling connected, and confident. I bring both humor and compassion to session in order to help you sort through the current noise in your life and figure out what patterns to let go of and what you want to keep and build on.

If you yearn for a more fulfilling relationship, greater self-esteem and self-compassion, healing from the past, and a more enjoyable and purposeful life, it means you’re paying attention. There’s always room for growth. Perhaps you aspire to improve one aspect of your life or several areas. Maybe you feel discouraged and lost because you’ve worked hard to make things better and haven’t seen a difference, or you’re newly aware of the need for a shift in life and this is your first try; either is okay. Successful change doesn’t have to start with self-confidence or a plan. It just requires the willingness to reach out and not take the journey alone. It can feel intimidating and scary to take that first step into therapy, and I deeply value creating a space in which you can feel as comfortable and as emotionally safe as possible to open up as you're ready. I flexibly and thoughtfully integrate evidence-based approaches tailored to each individual and couple, and my style is authentic, compassionate, collaborative, and warm. I'm attentive, actively engaged, and straightforward in sessions, and I firmly believe in the beauty of playfulness and humor. I stay up-to-date with the latest research, and my work is grounded in science. In addition to my work as a therapist, I teach a university course on close relationships. I've also written books on emotional unavailability in romantic relationships and the ways in which denial can create difficulties in some situations while being useful in others. I've been able to help couples transform painful communication patterns, manage conflict more effectively, build greater security and trust, increase intimacy, heal relationship wounds, and resolve uncertainty about their relationship. I've supported individual clients in their journey to treat themselves with more kindness, understand themselves and their relationships more deeply, advance healing from painful losses and other highly stressful experiences (including trauma), cope in healthier ways, and make changes in multiple areas of life. I welcome individuals and couples of diverse races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, beliefs, gender identities, and ages. It's possible to feel less alone, build better relationships, feel more comfortable in your own skin, and create a more satisfying life. Therapy can help you get there, and I'd love to take that journey with you. Please feel free to visit my website and call or email me so we can explore whether I'd be a good fit. You deserve to work with a therapist who is the right match for you, and I offer a free 30-minute consultation phone call so you can see what it's like to talk with me and get a sense of whether I can help. Thank you for stopping by to read this, and I hope to hear from you!

"Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions." Dalai Lama Seeking therapy is an act of strength, not weakness. It requires self-awareness and courage to recognize when help is needed. Many individuals who pursue therapy are already doing well in life but want to improve certain aspects or overcome specific challenges. Collaborating with a licensed therapist offers the opportunity for objective, professional guidance to better understand obstacles, set meaningful goals, and work toward positive transformation. Therapy can lead to numerous benefits, such as more fulfilling relationships, enhanced energy and productivity, and a greater sense of well-being. In my practice, I work alongside clients to tap into their strengths, helping them gain clarity and find practical solutions. I approach each session with compassion and humor, supporting clients in achieving their personal goals. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is key to a successful therapy experience. I am committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental, and trusting environment where clients can freely explore their challenges.

**Accepting new clients** What if you could start feeling better? I would love to support and explore how we can make change happen for you. Maybe you are tired of managing those racing thoughts on your own or struggling to figure out the best next step for your career or relationship - either way I can help. I work with clients whose anxiety-depression has made it difficult to get the most out of their day. Together, we can work to figure out how to feel less overwhelmed and more empowered to do what you want to do without the worry getting in the way. My style is interactive and I hope to create a space where all thoughts and feelings are welcome.

Accepting new clients both in person and virtually in MA and ME. I specialize in working with clients of all ages who have trauma and all of the symptoms that come with it. My goal is to provide you with a supportive, nonjudgmental space where healing and growth can take root. For many years, I have struggled with chronic illness and pain. If you have found yourself feeling tired, alone, or wondering, "Does anyone understand what I am going through?", I can help. I understand what it means to feel all of those things, and my aim is to help you process those feelings and emotions. I believe that everyone deserves a fair chance to grow into the person they want to be. To guide you through this journey, I draw from evidence-based practices including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and the Attachment, Regulation and Competency (ARC) model. My approach is strengths-based and individualized, empowering clients to build resilience, develop emotional regulation, and reconnect with their personal sense of identity and purpose. Through compassionate collaboration, I strive to equip my clients with practical tools, deeper self-awareness, and the confidence to move forward in their lives. Whether you’re starting your healing journey or continuing it, I’m here to walk alongside you and support your goals.

Psychotherapy services should address the specific needs of each client. Having trained in a variety of evidence-based practices, I work together with my clients to determine which approach works best for them, with the intent of addressing both symptoms and long-standing patterns of behavior. My approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and trauma-focused therapy. I also have a background in Jungian psychodynamic treatment. I work with adults couples of all ages, including college-aged and older adults. I specialize in treating mood (e.g., depression and bipolar disorder) and anxiety disorders, major life transitions (e.g., career, college), relational familial concerns and trauma PTSD. I also have specialized training in treating ADHD, sleep disturbance and substance use. In addition to my clinical work, I was on faculty at UCLA and trained clinicians on evidence-based practices.

I am a multi-state-licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with almost a decade of experience and while I'm based in New England, I am licensed in multiple states (MA, NY, TN, FL, NH, VT, ME) and meet via telehealth for your convenience. I strive to be warm, validating, and honest, helping you rediscover your values, and find joy in your identity. My approach is relaxed and honest, light-hearted but serious when needs must, and I'm a real person with a real life who also happens to be a therapist — not a stiff AI projection of a “therapist” like you see on TV. I really enjoy helping people, just like you, who feel burnt out, anxious, overwhelmed, and sick of the life they've found themselves living. You might be looking for some anxiety coping skills, ways to get out of that soul-crushing job, identity exploration, or need someone to just listen as you verbally process through something. Many of my clients also self-identify as perfectionistic, type-A, overcontrolled andor achievement-driven. More personally, I'm a sucker for the color blue, SNL cast members breaking character, a super laminated croissant, and a bouquet of fresh flowers in my kitchen. I'm a proud elder millennial and I love a good pun. If we work together, you're more than likely to meet my golden retriever, Teddy, who is the absolute goodest boy imaginable (and no, I'm not biased — I only used peer-reviewed methodologies in my practice ;).
