***Not currently accepting new patients*** I am a psychologist, psychoanalyst, and former faculty member at Harvard Medical School, and have been in private practice in Harvard Square for 18 years. Most commonly, I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma and borderline personality disorder -- from those who are severely affected by these conditions to those in less distress.

There are a lot of ways to practice therapy. One crucial aspect of any "good" therapy is that it helps you expand your curiosity and open-mindedness about yourself - who you have been, who you are, and who you would like to be. Towards this aim, I listen with a commitment to my own openness, mindful of our shared humanity. As a clinical social worker and psychoanalyst, I see folks with a range of concerns from diverse cultural backgrounds. I think contextually, knowing our social worlds are integral to who we are.

I provide a warm, inclusive, collaborative, and supportive environment. I work with clients to address a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use struggles, difficulties in relationships, loss, and balancing work-life demands, among other issues. Integrating multiple models of care based on a patient's need, I utilize aspects of behavioral approaches (CBT, DBT, behavioral medicine), mindfulness-based interventions, humanistic approaches, relational and developmental theory, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic-informed care.

Now accepting new clients! I am so excited to support you in your journey to living your best life! My name is Liz and I work with people aged 17+ who want to improve their ability to manage challenging aspects of their lives. When problems related to substance use, mood disorders, grief, trauma, chronic illness or pain, parenting, educational and professional stress become overwhelming I can provide supportive and reassuring opportunities for change. It can be frightening to confront these parts of ourselves. I will provide a compassionate, validating and safe space to move forward in your life and accomplish your goals.

I'm a mixed-race, queer therapist who specializes in helping LGBTQIA+ folks manage anxiety and feel confident. I offer online and "walk and talk" therapy. People start working with me because while life is going pretty well "on paper", they’ve been struggling with things like getting stuck in anxiety spirals; not knowing if they’re on the right career path or in the right relationship; questioning their identity; feeling tense, stressed out, and overwhelmed; not sleeping well; or sometimes feeling lonely or disconnected. They’re ready to work on understanding themselves, figuring out their values, and building the lives they want.

I have experience treating adults with grief and loss issues, coparenting and family issues, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, substance use, relationship difficulties, and parenting and life transitions including divorce, loss and employment. My ideal client wishes to improve their overall quality of life personally and/or professionally.

Do you find yourself caught in the relentless grip of anxiety, your mind racing with worry even in moments of quiet? Or perhaps depression has cast a shadow over the activities that once brought you joy? For parents and guardians, are you witnessing your child or adolescent grappling with their emotions, struggling to communicate their inner world? Are you deeply concerned about your child or adolescent, wishing for them to navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience? These emotions you're experiencing are valid, and they're the starting point of a transformative journey that I am here to embark on with you.

Starting therapy can be a difficult step, and you may not know where to start. My goal is to determine that together and support a path of self-understanding and positive change. I enjoy working with adults of all backgrounds and identities dealing with anxiety, depression, identity development, relationship issues, adjustment, grief, and trauma. I also specialize in health psychology with a particular interest in women’s health. Through a warm, curious, and sometimes humorous approach, I strive to make genuine connections to understand client’s needs, hopes, and fears with the goal of self-awareness and transformation.

Not accepting new patients right now. With so much pressure to put our heads down, produce and consume, to fall in line and do what we’re ‘supposed to do,’ it can be hard to stop and calibrate. Therapy is a place to pause and to question, to take stock of what is causing suffering in your life and identify changes you may want to make, and to better understand yourself and your experience in the world.

If you need help with depression and anxiety, or are struggling to break or gain control over unhealthy patterns, unhappy relationships, or addiction, psychotherapy can be an effective treatment. I work hard to understand what makes you unique, how your personal history affects you now, and what qualities and strengths you can tap into to feel better. I typically will take an active approach with you, at times challenging negative or distorted thinking and at other times helping you face painful feelings. This is done with respect and genuine curiosity as we work together to help you enjoy your life.

Accepting new clients for the summer months, late May - early September. I believe in the healing power of relationships. At its best, therapy can be a place of offering company and witnessing to the parts of you that feel the most alone, fearful, ashamed, and uncertain.

My intention as a therapist is to help you get clear about what you need physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually so you have more energy and confidence to create a fulfilling, authentic life. Using an eclectic approach, I integrate Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness, and Mind-Body modalities to work with the barriers that prevent you from creating the life and transformative relationships you desire. I am particularly interested in helping clients navigate internal and external relationship patterns, supporting creative expression, developing self compassion, and spiritual exploration and development.

"My practice is currently full; please email me if you would like to be on my wait-list." It is common to find oneself, at some point, caught up in behaviors or beliefs that create suffering and seem impossible to change. This is what we often experience as feeling trapped...mired in bad relationship dynamics or in work that no longer gives back what we need. And it is these kinds of feelings that push people to consider therapy, hoping but not being sure that it will help.
