Hi, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor located in MA and work in person near Downtown Crossing in Boston and near Washington Square in Brookline.

A psychoanalytic approach is a means of working with and talking about our feelings; the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I received my master's degree from the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis and have since been working to provide empathetic, effective psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapy to help find answers to and the motivation to address life's problems.

First session

Finding the right therapist can feel hard. Building trust, mutual understanding and an empathetic relationship are the most integral parts of a successful therapeutic outcome. I invite you to contact me and schedule a consultation to see if it's a good fit.

Strengths

A psychoanalytic approach is a means of working with and talking about our feelings; the good, the bad, and the ugly. Our feelings are one of the things that connect us most in this world. My role as a therapist is to help talk about these feelings in a safe, productive way in order to explore your life; where you have been, where you are, and where you might like to be in life.

Ideal clients

Are you looking for relief from daily struggles, or a better understanding of life's obstacles, or motivation to push through it all? Wanting to see if therapy could be helpful? - Therapy is a chance to learn more about yourself, to heal past wounds, and in doing so, continue to grow and mature into the greatest version of yourself.

Treatment methods

Psychoanalytic

A psychoanalytic approach examines the many aspects of who we are; our histories, our relationships, our hopes and wishes for the future and the things getting in the way. Talking about and working together to overcome feelings of anxiety, depression or any other troublesome experiences is the foundation of my work as a therapist.

It was good to feel heard and to just get recent events out of my head with someone I could trust to listen.
