LP, 10 years of experience
I am a licensed clinical psychologist who approaches my work from a pragmatic and individually tailored perspective. I focus on helping my clients recognize obstacles and life-patterns that interfere with their well-being and success. I guide clients toward aligning their values and behaviors to chart new and more fulfilling pathways forward. I am broadly trained and use approaches that are called for by each person’s unique history and goals. I work with adults of all ages. My services include individual psychotherapy and neuropsychological assessment. I am trained in the Harvard Hospital System, the Veteran's Administration Hospital System, and the Brenner Assessment Center. I am a member of the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACT!), and the Massachusetts Neuropsychological Society. I am a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of UCLA, and I obtained my doctorate from William James College.
I like to get to know you as a person -- the course of your life, your hopes and plans, the things that have matter to you, and thus the ways in which your struggles are interfering with your ability to live the life you'd like to be living.
I will hear, value, and respect your experience; I will always treat you first and foremost as a person, and not as a diagnosis.
Adults of all ages; clients diagnosed with anxiety, depression, or trauma/PTSD; clients diagnosed with autism spectrum or ADHD; older adults; bereavement, cultural issues or issues around race/nationality
ACT is a therapy that helps people manage their distress in order to re-engage with their lives; it is through living meaningful and fulfilling lives that we heal
