My approach
As your therapist, I aim to help you uncover a deeper understanding of yourself and make changes to improve your overall mood, quality of relationships, self-esteem, and life satisfaction. My approach is trauma informed and emphasizes a safe space for individuals to feel validated and heard during their time in session. I use several methods of therapy including CBT, DBT, Person-Centered, Narrative, Solution-Focused, Art Therapy and Mindfulness to tailor each session to your specific needs and ensure that everyone is treated as an individual.
Specialties
I offer evidence-based treatment in the areas of anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma and stress-related issues, and relationship concerns. However, my work is not limited to these areas of concern. My goal as a therapist is to empower you to better understand your own thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and desires and challenge you to reach the goals that you set for yourself. I serve as a guide, a coach, and a teacher, utilizing several approaches to best fit your needs as you facilitate growth and power within yourself.

Providing you with a safe space
All in person appointments will take place in a private office with comfortable seating, complimentary coffee, tea and water, and individualized care. I am present at each session with a judgement free perspective and a willingness to listen to and understand your experience.
In-person and remote options
My office space is conveniently located in the heart of Chestnut Hill. Can’t make it into the office? No worries – teletherapy is always an option.
