Jamaica Plain, MA 02130
Using an integrated approach of psychodynamic psychotherapy, strength based therapy, CBT and family work, I have had success in treating adolescents who experience depression, anxiety, issues related to trauma, grief, issues with identity, self harming behaviors and family conflict.
I provide a Client Centered, Action Oriented, Humanistic approach to supporting adolescents and young adults through challenges that can arise during this developmental stage. With over 25 years of experience working with youth in various settings, I have come to understand the importance of creating a safe space where youth can explore and process their feelings, gain the skills necessary to cope with adversity, and articulate their hopes and dreams; becoming strong, resilient young men and women; ready and able to reach their fullest potentials. It is my hope to witness this growth in every child I work with.

My specialty is Children and Adolescents. The children I see often have difficulty with impulsivity and self-regulation; with anxiety, depression and low esteem; are unable to attend or focus. They feel the torment of social anxiety and isolation from peers. Often kids get so discouraged, disappointed or frustrated at school or home that they either give up and withdraw or resort to any number of behaviors that hurt them or get them into trouble. Inside, children want to do well, to succeed, to please others and to feel loved. This may seem impossible to them when confronted with so much overstimulation in themselves and in life.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
