I believe change is possible for all of us, and I have seen that change develop in many clients over the course of a collaborative treatment. I believe that, working together, we can develop a rich and fulfilling understanding of each client’s personality. I'm trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, and I use that frame to provide an environment that promotes awareness and growth. I have also used components of cognitive behavioral and dialectic behavioral services in outpatient group therapy, and I blend these tools with the psychodynamic frame to provide an individualized approach. In addition to being qualified as a clinical social worker and graduate psychoanalyst, I am finishing my doctorate at the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis. With a broad social work base and the organic concentration psychoanalytic theory offers, I have the flexibility to look beyond the symptoms and work with a range of concerns. I work with people, not diagnoses; you are much more than your diagnosis! I have a particular interest in with working with adults living with the effects of trauma, anxiety, and depression. If you want to know why you recreate the same patterns with different names and faces, my approach may be a good fit for you.
