What's My Approach to Therapy?

In our work together, I will prioritize creating a welcoming and supportive space where you are met with empathy and respect. In my work you, I will aim to combine the best of both worlds of explorative, depth-orientated therapy and practical problem-solving, to support you in navigating whatever is currently challenging whether that is anxiety, depression, 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 eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.

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 dignity of every human being; to that effect, for me the core of therapy is based upon utmost respect for the client, their experience, who they are, and what they want out of therapy. I also believe in providing a therapy experience that is skilled and that goes beyond mere empathic listening since I believe in respecting client time and resources invested. I have also 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.

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.
