About Me

I am a Cambridge MA based clinical psychologist. I specialize in the treatment of couples and have over 15 years of specialty training and experience as a couples therapist. I am a former staff psychologist and group coordinator at Mental Health & Counseling at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I am on the board of directors and a faculty member at the Psychodynamic Couples and Family Institute of New England, former faculty at the Couples Conference, and a clinical instructor at Harvard School of Graduate Education and Boston University’s PhD. program in counseling psychology. I am also a diversity, equity, and inclusion consultant with VISIONS, Inc. 

My therapeutic approach draws from psychodynamic, cultural contextual, transactional analysis, humanistic/existential, and cognitive-behavioral models. Being an integrative practitioner allows me to be emotionally attune and exploratory to clients who want a more dynamic and insight oriented therapy and active in structured problem solving and skill development for clients who want a more short term or solution focused approach. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to learn about themselves, regardless of what particular issues bring them to therapy. I emphasize utilizing a client’s unique background, values, and strengths to help in the change process. I aim to practice cultural humility, even with clients who share my core identities, and aim to make psychotherapy as inclusive as possible. I am deeply committed to providing culturally curious treatment to every person or couple I work with and believe this is important for any type of psychotherapy to be effective.
