About Me
I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in health psychology and the treatment of chronic pain, complex medical conditions, and trauma. My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic techniques, behavioral medicine, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I strive to provide a compassionate and collaborative space where clients can process past experiences and achieve meaningful growth.
Education & Experience
I hold a Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) from William James College and a Master of Divinity (M.Div.) from Harvard Divinity School, bringing a unique perspective that combines clinical expertise with a deep understanding of existential and spiritual dimensions of human experience. My professional background includes extensive experience in treating chronic pain, complex medical conditions, and trauma.
