About me

I specialize in providing tailored, confidential psychological care for individuals and families who demand excellence and discretion. Drawing on my experience as a Harvard Medical School faculty member and clinician at Boston Children’s Hospital, I integrate best practices in psychological services with compassion to help you achieve meaningful results—whether that’s reducing stress, changing unhelpful relational patterns, or navigating complex family dynamics.

My approach is grounded in evidence-based practice. I don’t believe in one‐size‐fits‐all solutions; the best psychological care will be tailored to your needs and goals. You’ll benefit from flexible evening appointments, in person or by telehealth, and a commitment to confidentiality.

Beyond clinical work, I teach and supervise psychology students, psychiatry residents and fellows, and social work trainees, ensuring that my practice remains at the forefront of best practices. I’ve also led statewide and national committees and organizations, including the Massachusetts Association for Psychoanalytic Psychology, which keeps me directly connected to professional developments that inform the care I provide.

For those seeking a deeper exploratory journey, I offer psychoanalysis rooted in the Lacanian tradition, which examines the ways our unconscious desires shape our lives.

To discuss how I can support you or your family, please reach out for a confidential consultation.
