Therapists in Back Bay-Beacon Hill, Boston, MA

Are you yearning for a more fulfilling relationship? Are there things left unsaid, creating distance between you and your partner? Life can get busy, and it's easy to find yourselves caught in a cycle of misunderstandings and unresolved issues. If you're longing for a deeper connection and want to break free from the struggles that are holding you back, imagine a place where your feelings are heard, and positive change is within reach. In our fast-paced world, a 50-min therapy session may not always provide the immediate impact couples seek. That is why I hold couples therapy intensives, which is a weekend of deep therapeutic work.

Do you feel you've been living just to get through the days? Or that your past experiences in life are holding you back from what you'd really like to be doing? I may be able to help. Coming to therapy can be one of the most difficult decisions one chooses to make. Whether it's your first time, fifth time, or transitioning from a long history with a previous therapist, change can be very hard. Feeling the right connection is an important building block of treatment success.

Therapy is a science and creative process we engage in together. While change is truly hard work, as an experienced therapist, I strive to provide a compassionate and validating therapeutic environment so you can take things on at your own pace. We will establish a clear set of objectives allowing you to track, quantify, and celebrate your achievements as you progress. I believe in giving you tools you can use right away to start to feel better now.

There are times in our lives when we end up feeling sad, angry, anxious, or lost. Sometimes, we find ourselves in unwanted patterns that lead to self-doubt, damaged relationships, failure to reach our potential and an inability to see our worth. Therapy can help people recognize these patterns and learn new ways to cope.

Using curiosity and compassion to create a safe, supportive and nonjudgmental space, I assist my clients in gaining insight into the underlying issues that are causing their current symptoms.

Life is full of unexpected challenges and transitions. Using a trauma-informed perspective, I am motivated to help people process their current challenges by understanding how their past experiences and relationships can effect their current ability to cope. I prefer to use a psychodynamic lens to understand a person's learned patterns of thoughts and behaviors to gain perspective of their situation. Understanding how our minds have been hardwired through a lifetime of relationships and trauma to process and react to life transitions can give us the opportunity to cope with challenges in a more effective way.
