About

Hello, I am a licensed clinical psychologist in MA & OR. Before becoming a psychologist, I worked as a public interest attorney, and as a psychologist, I see the importance of being mindful of social context in the therapy room. I specialize in psychodynamic psychotherapy -an evidence-based treatment- to illuminate how the past and present, external and internal, mutually influence one another. I also integrate tools from other therapy modalities to support the unique needs of each individual.

I have focused experience working with adults from diverse backgrounds (in particular, graduate students, helping professionals, and creatives). I draw from psychoanalytic and attachment theories, paying attention to one's relationship with self/other, early experiences, and the sociopolitical milieu.

Living an examined life takes courage, which can be painstaking at times. I trust the therapeutic process, which can illuminate internal & interpersonal patterns to embolden one’s sense of agency: moving towards a more compassionate, creative, and enlivened sense of being with self and others.
