My Approach to Therapy

I work with my clients in two complementary ways: skilled EMDR to target trauma-related distress, and explorative relational talk therapy that utilizes psychoanalytic and existential theories to better understand repeating patterns, attachment, identity, and life direction concerns. My work with you can be done with either an EMDR-focused start, relational-focused work, or both as your needs evolve. I enjoy working with adults (18+) who are aiming for both lasting relief and a deeper understanding of who they are and what they want out of life.

My Practice & Services

I am currently offering online psychotherapy and counseling 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 intelligence of every human being I see. To that effect, for me the core of psychotherapy work is based upon utmost respect for the client, their experience, and what they want out of therapy. While I respect diagnosis and working with people to resolve what specifically made them come into therapy, my work focuses first on the person's experience and what they discuss with me rather than a diagnostic label. I also have 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 has resonated, you are very welcome to schedule a free 20 minute consultation with me.

Groups I Work With

I enjoy working with adults of all ages (18+). Many clients say they feel safe and comfortable with me from the first session while valuing my guidance. My approach is well-suited for clients who are looking for an element of self-exploration as a part of their therapy work. If this resonates, you’re welcome to email or call to schedule a free 20-minute consultation to discuss next steps and your growth.
