I have 25 years of experience and have worked as a therapist at MIT since 2018. I also now see adults in a small private practice where I prioritize in-person sessions. I enjoy helping people both to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and to gain practical strategies to move forward in ways that feel intentional, authentic, and empowering. My approach to therapy draws from insight-oriented, mindfulness-based, and skill-building perspectives and is individualized to your needs and goals. I work collaboratively to support you in being able to connect authentically. If you think my experience and approach could be a good fit for you, please reach out. I'd be happy to connect with you.

Pivot Counseling and Performance

Group practice
In-Person & Online
Belmont, MA

Being a student-athlete means navigating two demanding worlds at once. Between the pressure to perform, the expectations of coaches and teammates, academic responsibilities, and the challenges of everyday life, it can be difficult to find space to focus on yourself. My goal is to help student-athletes develop the psychological skills, self-awareness, and resilience to navigate these demands while building a healthier relationship with both sport and life. As a therapist with Pivot Counseling and Performance, I work with individuals who want to better understand themselves, work through personal challenges, and develop the tools to move forward with greater confidence and purpose. My approach to psychotherapy integrates evidence-based principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, experiential therapies, and performance psychology. Together, we work to identify patterns that may be holding you back, develop more flexible ways of responding to difficult thoughts and emotions, and clarify the values that matter most to you. For college athletes, this work can include managing performance anxiety, navigating injuries and setbacks, coping with burnout, adjusting to the demands of collegiate athletics, and balancing athletic identity with the broader question of who you want to become. Therapy can also provide space to address challenges beyond sport, including traumatic experiences, relationships, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. I believe that mental performance and mental health are deeply connected. The goal is not simply to perform better, but to develop the capacity to respond effectively to challenges without losing sight of what makes life meaningful. Whether you're working through a difficult stretch, looking to strengthen your mental game, or trying to figure out what's next, therapy offers an opportunity to build skills that extend well beyond the playing field.

The students I work best with often share common experiences and needs. Many of them are facing the pressures of academic demands, juggling coursework, exams, and deadlines while also trying to balance personal responsibilities and relationships. They may be experiencing feelings of stress, anxiety, or overwhelm as they navigate transitions, uncertainties, and expectations. What sets my practice apart is my genuine commitment to creating a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns without judgment. I understand that seeking help can feel daunting, so I strive to foster a warm and welcoming environment where you feel heard, valued, and understood. Whether you're struggling with academic stress, relationship issues, self-doubt, or anything in between, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Together, we'll work collaboratively to identify your goals, explore your strengths, and develop personalized strategies to help you thrive in all areas of your life. If you're ready to take the first step toward a happier, healthier you, I invite you to reach out. Let's embark on this journey of self-discovery and growth together. You don't have to face your challenges alone—I'm here to help you every step of the way.

It is hard to get in a groove and to recover after the times of solitude, separation, and all things unknown we’ve experienced. You know yourself the best, but everyone needs help, support and help connecting these days. No one has been through this before! If you would like someone to connect with, to talk with about figuring out things that are best for you and your people, feel free to contact me. I am working with individuals in person (mostly) and have flexible hours. No topic is off limits. I would very much look forward to talking with you.

Life can feel like a roller coaster full of twists and turns. You may lose track of your goals and rely on unhealthy coping skills to help you, including over/under eating, excessive exercise, self-deprecation, doubt, isolation, irritability, over-thinking, increased impulsivity...the list goes on. During these times you may experience tough transitions ranging from the loss of a loved one, sudden change in career and/or relocation, acculturation challenges and/or traumatic experiences that result in confusion, pain and other emotions you may feel flooded with. I am here to help you process and make sense of your ride. For the last 12+ years I have helped my clients feel confident and self-assured. I use various talk and expressive therapy modalities, to assist others in unmasking the complex layers of their experiences and emotions to embrace their inner strength, leadership and uniqueness. I confidently feel that you deserve to be the best version of you at all times. Whether this be your first time in therapy or not I encourage you to take the leap and allow me to help you achieve your goals. I will be open to your needs and finding a flow that elicits the change you seek.

At Catalyst Psychology, our clinicians understand how overwhelming campus life can feel. For many students, the mind rarely takes a break - whether it’s late-night worries that disrupt sleep, constant pressure to stay focused, or fears of not measuring up. These struggles often show up as tension in the body, irritability in relationships, or a heaviness that makes it hard to get through the day. In the unique setting of college, with shifting schedules, academic demands, and major life transitions, these challenges can feel even more intense. How We Help Catalyst Psychology clinicians use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - an evidence-based approach that looks at how thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and the body interact. Our team works with students experiencing: •Anxiety and performance stress •Insomnia and sleep difficulties •Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) •Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) •Mood challenges such as irritability, stress, and low motivation •Relationship strain and difficulties with communication Treatment is structured and collaborative. Our clinicians work with you to set clear goals, practice strategies between sessions, and track what’s working so progress feels concrete and meaningful. Understanding Campus Challenges College life brings unique pressures. These include exam stress, perfectionism, focus and planning difficulties, and big transitions like adjusting to campus, preparing for graduation, or shifting academic roles. While these challenges can leave you drained or uncertain about how to cope - especially when it looks like everyone else is managing - Catalyst clinicians offer tools and strategies that help restore steadiness, build confidence, and make daily life feel more manageable. What You Can Expect Therapy at Catalyst Psychology is practical, goal-oriented, and grounded in compassion. We work with you to develop strategies to reduce overwhelm, manage stress more effectively, and feel more in control of your daily life. We're here when you're ready to take the first step. We look forward to connecting and supporting you as you navigate the challenges of campus life.

With deep respect for your uniqueness and wisdom, this relationship can inspire and act as the catalyst for progress. My work with clients focuses on cultivating emotional intelligence and fostering a deeper understanding of underlying experiences and core beliefs.

Licensed Professional Counselor

Cambridge, MA

I am a Harvard-trained physician who practiced Neurology for 25 years before completing a post-graduate psychotherapy fellowship to allow me to help others in a different way. This major life change informs my work as a psychotherapist. No matter where along our life’s path we find ourselves, and no matter how distressed, stuck or trapped we feel, we can always come to know ourselves more fully and to make changes in the service of a more satisfying, meaningful and fulfilling life. I practice a flexible style of psychotherapy tailored to each unique person or couple. Some prefer a shorter-term, more active therapy that focuses on making changes in the here and now. Others benefit from a longer-term, more self-directed exploration in a safe and supportive environment. Although my focus is on helping people meet their goals through therapy, I offer the option to prescribe adjunctive medication when needed. My aim is always to understand each person’s unique life experiences, beliefs, values and goals and to work with each person to promote enhanced self-understanding and freedom of choice in the service of a life that feels satisfying and meaningful. When working with a couple, my aim is to help the couple work through current relationship difficulties and, if both partners are invested in maintaining the relationship, to help them create a partnership where each feels safe, secure, valued and cared for.
