About Me
I am a licensed psychologist and neuropsychologist with practices located in Newton and Westborough, Massachusetts. I see clients through telehealth and in person. I work with individuals, couples, and families, encompassing age ranges and life stages from adolescents through college and the entire span of adulthood. Forming trusting relationships with each client based on genuine caring and compassion is central to my work. I draw on a variety of approaches and interventions to help each client move beyond the symptom to the root cause of what is driving the problem. I have becoming increasingly interested in experiential work, based on coherence therapy and memory reconsolidation, through which clients can bring into conscious awareness longstanding mental schemas that impede positive growth and development and that need revision to re-energize clients to pursue more positive and productive directions in their lives.
I continue to welcome clients who seek to explore their spiritual, religious, and existential questions and concerns whatever that might mean for each individual.
I also conduct assessments based on a collaborative therapeutic assessment model which is designed to integrate therapeutic approaches with various standardized traditional and performance-based assessments.
For over three decades, I have found Carl Jung's work to be most valuable in helping clients understand both their psychological strengths and their less preferred functions as they develop and individuate. I utilize my in-depth understanding of the application of the Myer-Briggs Type Indicator to help clients appreciate and apply the constructive use of differences in all social and interpersonal contexts of their lives, specifically family dynamics as well as school, work, and community settings.
I have experience with individuals who have struggled with anxiety and depression, with trauma histories, with all types of life stage obstacles and transitions, and with interpersonal and relationship challenges. In general, I am sensitive to all of the various difficulties life can throw at any of us at any given time, and I am interested to help you find the unique tools that work for you to pursue and maintain a meaningful, fulfilling, and satisfying path in your life.
Please feel free to contact me for a brief consultation to determine whether I can be of assistance to you in taking whatever next steps are needed in your life at this time.
