Therapy is often about change - changing oneself or parts of one's life. Taking steps towards change requires tremendous courage, but many people find the rewards of this process well worth the effort. A supportive, helpful guide can go a long way towards making productive changes and that is where I come in. Support is my primary role; my secondary role is to help individuals identify thoughts or behaviors that are limiting progress in one's life. In addition to helping with a wide range of common symptoms like stress, anxiety, depression, I specialize in health psychology (coping with illness).
I graduated from a Ph.D. program that emphasizes biopsychosocial and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approaches and completed my internship at Children's Hospital Boston/ Harvard Medical School. This unique training allows me to work with adults or closely with families when symptoms affect children or adolescents. I also conduct psychoeducational assessments.
