Hello! I'm happy you're here. I'm a therapist in private practice in Massachusetts for over 25 years. I work with adults of all ages as well as with some older teens (16-18). I believe that each person is the expert of their own life, and that my role as a therapist is to help illuminate your way to discovering your strengths and learning how to use your strengths in all situations.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first meeting, we will introduce ourselves and start right in. I will quickly gather pertinent demographic and insurance information, and then I will ask you what brings you to therapy. I will want to know about your upbringing, your current living/working situation, your health, your relationship status, what you love, and what you can't stand. The answers to these questions will help me to create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have had the privilege of working with people from all over the world. My experiences with multiple cultures place me in a position of both ease and humility when I meet a new client. I am open-minded and emotionally generous. I have a great thirst for knowledge and I am deeply curious about all things, and that curiosity, that sense of exploration and adventure, is what I like to bring to therapy.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

If you would like to work with me, I would want you to know that therapy is not about fixing you. You are already whole. There may be areas of your life that need some loving care, but that does not mean that you are hopelessly flawed. We will tease apart the layers of what's troubling you. I will need you to be proactive in communicating what you're thinking and feeling, and we will focus on those aspects of your life situation that may require some compassion and kindness.
