About Me
WHO I TREAT
I see adults of all ages, individually. I do not see couples, families, or children.
I am especially interested in working with those who have experienced racism, homophobia, disability discrimination, and other forms of oppression. My practice is sex-positive and kink- and poly-friendly.
MY APPROACH
Generally, my style is interactive and collaborative. I use a psychodynamic and relational approach, with a side of mindfulness.
In other words, I can help you understand how your past and unconscious experiences -- especially your formative relationships -- influence your present. This understanding allows you to be more conscious of your thoughts, feelings, and behavior as they happen.
All of this occurs in the context of the relationship we forge in therapy. I see the relationship as a kind of lab: It is a place to try new things and have new experiences. It is also a safe space to understand all the old baggage you've been carrying around with you. I can help you carry it until you don't need me anymore.
BACKGROUND
I am a licensed psychologist in Massachusetts and have telehealth licenses in Florida and Vermont. I hold a doctorate in psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology in the San Francisco Bay Area and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of California, Santa Cruz.
In the past, I have worked in schools and community mental health settings. I completed my postdoctoral training at the Stone Center Counseling Service at Wellesley College. I have also previously worked as a staff psychologist at the Harvard University Mental Health Service.
Sorry!
I am not currently accepting new patients.
