I'm a licensed clinical psychologist trained at Harvard Medical School. Occasionally, we notice patterns of thinking, behaving, and experiencing others & ourselves, which can feel very familiar and frustrating. Or we can be hit by sudden life circumstances like loss, transition, identity shifts, or trauma that leave us feeling overwhelmed & scared, where existing strengths and coping skills are outstripped. Through a dynamic and collaborative process, I help patients understand & transform their old ways of being to feel more connected, renewed, and, ultimately, to better flourish in their relationships, work, and within themselves.
As a psychoanalyst candidate, my approach is warmly interactive, supportively inquisitive, and deeply insight-driven. I believe the fit between therapist & patient is crucial in determining whether treatment will be successful. And so I strive to create a safe, yet transformative therapeutic space where I am attuned to your struggles as well as strengths.
I completed 2 fellowships in psychoanalytic therapy and am in analytic training. This allows me to better understand your complexity, and to listen in a deeper way for unspoken experience & meaning. I was a Clinical Instructor at Harvard Med. School, honored by the American Psychological Association&American_Psychoanalytic_Association, and give consultation.
