What's My Approach to Therapy?

In our work together, I'll prioritize creating a welcoming and supportive space where you are met with empathy and respect. In my work with clients, I aim to combine the best of both worlds—explorative, depth-orientated therapy and practical problem-solving—to support you in navigating whatever is currently challenging, whether that’s anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, or other struggles.

I draw on training in psychology, personality theory, and philosophy to guide our therapy sessions, approaching therapy as both a craft and a collaborative process shaped around your unique experiences and goals. My work is informed primarily, though not exclusively, by psychodynamic-analytic therapy, attachment-focused therapy, existential therapy, and (for non-complex trauma) eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.

My Practice & Services

I am currently offering online psychotherapy and counselling via a secure platform throughout Boston and the state of Massachusetts. I have evening openings available.

My Guiding Ethical Principles

I believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every human being; to that effect, for me the core of therapy is based upon utmost respect for the client, their experience, and what they want out of therapy. While I respect diagnosis, psychological theories, and working with people to resolve what specifically made them come into therapy, my work focuses first on the person rather than a label. I also believe in providing a therapy experience that is skilled and that goes beyond mere empathic listening, since I believe in respecting my clients time and their resources invested. I have also extensively invested in my own personal psychotherapy so that I am able to be more present and self aware for my clients. If what I wrote above has resonated, you are very welcome to reach out to me via email or phone so we can set up a free 20-minute consult to discuss next steps and if we are the right fit. I also invite you to look through my website linked in my profile for more details.
