About
I'm a licensed psychotherapist and educator based in Cambridge, MA. I specialize in therapy grounded in psychodynamic, relational, and experiential approaches.
My practice is guided by the understanding that we become who we are through our relationships and the stories we carry from them — and that the therapy relationship itself is one of the ways these stories begin to surface and change. I draw from a psychodynamic and relational perspective, which means I pay attention to how memories of past experience continue to shape our present patterns of relating to ourselves and others. In therapy, we work together to uncover and rework these patterns as they emerge between us, freeing up new possibilities in how we think, feel, and interact with the world.
Our work will also address the role of the body in emotion, attachment, and trauma, and will integrate experiential strategies — including EMDR, parts work, and narrative reprocessing — to transform insight into creative change. My style is authentic and warm, and I work with clients to enrich therapy with diverse sources of meaning and lived experience — including art, culture, storytelling, politics, philosophy, and humor.
I work with adults and emerging adults navigating a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma and trauma-related issues, grief, anger, social anxiety, educational and academic stressors, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, and questions related to life meaning, personal values, and self-actualization. I also have special expertise in relationships, attachment, and interpersonal issues, and offer an affirming space for LGBTQ+ clients, polyamorous clients, and people navigating questions of identity, intimacy, sexuality, and the complexity of family and social life.
My clinical training includes work in the Department of Outpatient Psychiatry at Cambridge Health Alliance, a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital with a legacy for providing trauma-informed and psychodynamic therapy in an interdisciplinary care environment. I also draw from my experience as a college educator teaching ethics and social issues at Boston University, where I earned my PhD in philosophy. I find joy in helping clients as they navigate questions of identity, life meaning, and social connection.
