Therapy is an opportunity to make meaning of our experiences and achieve agency in the here and now. My goal is to partner and collaborate with my clients in that process. I am deeply interested in how we tell the stories of our lives and use those stories to cope, make sense of reality, and understand ourselves. Grounded in trauma-informed psychodynamic and relational practice, I draw from cognitive behavioral, narrative, and mindfulness therapies, with a particular belief in the importance of ...
I’ve been part of the Harvard Medical School system for a decade, first as a trainee, now as faculty member. I'm trained primarily in psychodynamic therapy, but principles/interventions from other paradigms also inform my work, and I love working with students. Ultimately, the nature of therapy depends on the patient, what they are up against, and their goals. For this reason, the course of therapy is difficult to describe, but I think it only ever works in a context of empathy, respect, and com...

We all have times in our lives when our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, or relationships become locked in unhelpful patterns that can be very hard to change. As a clinical psychologist, I work collaboratively and actively with people to better understand how and why they became stuck. My clients find that increased awareness of themselves gained within a supportive relationship frees them to have new experiences. I work well with people who have a desire to explore themselves in order to address ...
Hello, What I love about my work is helping people to be and become the people they want to be. When we can look at the things that shape our lives, then we can make better choices about what to do next. That’s easier said than done. We may have to pay attention to things we weren’t aware of— or didn’t want to notice in the first place. It’s hard to change what you can’t acknowledge. Whether it’s in the private corners of your mind or the broad inequalities of society, it’s hard to look at life’...
If you have ever felt stressed, anxious, or stuck and are unsure of how to move forward, you are not alone. Maybe you feel unsettled in your surroundings, disconnected in your relationships, or faced with a difficult loss or transition in life. I believe that a therapeutic relationship allows an opportunity to remember that you deserve to be seen and heard, to listen to yourself more deeply, and to feel more connected with who you are. This awareness can shift your understanding of yourself and ...

I try to help clients see and appreciate their own emotions and strengths and to be curi...

I have training in most major therapeutic modalities (CBT, DBT, SFBT, trauma-informed treatment, etc.) and my clinical focus is on in-depth psychoanalytic therapy.

Common issues include anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and difficulty with love ...
My therapeutic orientation is grounded in principles from Liberation psychology, Black/African-centered psychology, mad pride, and disability justice. I work with clients to explore their lived experiences and emotions in the context of intersecting systems of power, privilege, and oppression. I also collaborate with clients in exploring alternative models of understanding psychiatric disabilities outside of pathologization and the medical model of health and wellness. I aim to co-create a thera...

I value clinical relationships built on trust and aim ...
