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.

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.

"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."
