About My Clients

You can run a department, a lab, or a portfolio and still have nothing left for yourself. I work with high-achieving adults in healthcare, biotech, academia, tech, and finance who are dealing with anxiety, burnout, trauma, alcohol and substance use, and depression that hasn't lifted with medication or previous therapy. I work in English and Spanish.

My Background and Approach

I don't believe healing comes from a technique performed on you from across the room. It comes from a real relationship, one where you can be uncertain or unimpressive and I show up as a person too. I learned to treat depression through trauma work, at Cambridge Health Alliance's Victims of Violence Program, led by Dr. Judith Herman. That's why I look at what's underneath when treatment stalls, including for people on Ketamine and Esketamine. I have 16+ years of experience, including McLean Hospital, Brigham and Women's, and Cambridge Health Alliance, and I teach at Boston College and Simmons University.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I celebrate all genders, sexual orientations, religions, races, and relationship configurations. No breaking point required. Write to me when you're ready, even if you're not sure what to say yet.
