About Us

I believe that an effective therapist should help to organize our understanding of our strengths, our ways of thinking and acting, and the impact our social and cultural context has on us. This work helps us to better understand the sources of our distress and guides our selection from among a broad range of useful therapeutic approaches for coping. I believe that therapeutic change is heavily dependent on each client’s goals and motivation, and it is the job of a therapist to create a safe and trusting space in which to inspire and encourage this change. , I am a Harvard Medical School-trained clinical psychologist with specialized experience in helping clients to cope with illness, promote healthy behaviors (e.g., improve sleep, quit smoking, increase physical activity, reduce unhealthy eating), and overcome substance use disorders. I also treat mental health problems like anxiety and depression. , In my practice, I combine evidence-based methods from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with mindfulness-based and value-based principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Currently I see clients online. I am currently accepting only private pay. I welcome and enjoy working with LGBTQ+ clients and people of all races, ethnicities, and cultures.
