About

I am a seasoned, empathic, insightful & interactive (individual, group & couples) PhD Psychologist who will push you to grow & face necessary life challenges & transitions. People tend to suffer alone with Depression, Anxiety, Relationship Distress, Grief over loss & Life Transitions. 35 years of clinical experience treating adolescents and adults of all ages in individual, group, and couples therapy. Worked 30 years as a Clinical Instructor - Harvard Medical School and Associate Clinical Psychologist - Massachusetts General Hospital. Private practice in Newton. I am certified in psychodynamic DBT & CBT therapies. Symptoms are solutions to problems. In order to alleviate pain associated with depression, anxiety & eating disorders, my patients peel away layers of an onion in order to get to the root of the problem. We then work together to develop better coping strategies to deal effectively with those underlying issues. I am certified in AAT (Animal Assisted Therapy). Henry Freud is my canine co-therapist. He is happy to offer comfort, encouragement, compassion & love. He also brings tissues if you need them. I am also licensed to practice Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), EFT (Emotion Focused Therapy) with individuals, Group & Couples. Specialties: NEW Adolescent Group. In order to alleviate depression, anxiety, eating disorders and life transition pain, my patients and I go on a journey in order to get to the root of the problem. We then work together to develop better coping strategies to deal effectively with those underlying issues. If you don't address the cause, symptoms will reappear. I treat successfully adolescents and adults. Credentials & Experience: Over 30 years Clinical Instructor - Harvard Medical School and Associate Clinical Psychologist - Massachusetts General Hospital. I treat adolescents and adults in individual, group & couples therapy suffering with Anxiety, Depression, Eating Disorders, Grief And complicated Life Transitions.

"The match is the most important determiner of success in therapy. I work best with patients who are comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings and who are open to giving me feedback on my insights & suggestion. As a team, we go on a journey of discovery, self-analysis, challenging personal growth and improved coping strategies together. I offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation."
