About Me
I am a licensed psychologist with extensive training from Harvard Medical School teaching hospitals, and have been practicing EMDR since 2000 and have been certified since 2002. My approach combines evidence-based, trauma-informed care with empathy, helping clients move past distress, heal from past experiences, and build resilience. Having served on the clinical faculty at Harvard Medical School and as a staff psychologist at McLean Hospital, I bring a rigorous clinical foundation to my practice while keeping therapy grounded, collaborative, and tailored to your unique goals. Whether you are navigating trauma, anxiety, or life transitions, I am dedicated to providing a safe space for meaningful healing.
