About Me
Services & Expertise
Welcome to my practice!
As a mental health professional for over 25 years, I have worked in various clinical settings in the greater Boston area, including community mental health centers, hospitals, college counseling centers, therapeutic schools, public & independent schools, interdisciplinary settings, and private practice.
I provide individual psychotherapy and neuropsychological evaluations to individuals across the lifespan.
Approach
I am neurodivergent affirming in all aspects of my practice, which means I value and accept the many ways in which individuals think, process, and perceive information.
In psychotherapy, I emphasize strengths developed through each individual's unique history. I help clients age 10 and older make connections between their emotions and behaviors while noting the important influence of relationships throughout the lifespan. I draw from cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and other approaches such as relational theory and family systems theory. Together, we explore unhelpful patterns, identify alternatives, and pinpoint useful coping tools.
Neuropsychological evaluations provide an opportunity to formally understand an individual's reasoning capabilities, academic skills, emotions, social interaction, and needs. I evaluate children age 6 and older, adolescents, and adults. Personalized recommendations help each individual attain greater success in their school, work, and/or community settings.

Education & Credentials
I have a doctorate from Northeastern University's combined school psychology and counseling psychology program. I also have a master's degree in counseling psychology from Boston College.
I trained at multiple Boston-area clinical settings including Harvard Medical School and Judge Baker Children's Center.
I am a licensed psychologist in Massachusetts and New York. In addition, I am a licensed Massachusetts school psychologist.
