I am currently a psychotherapist and Lead Clinical Supervisor at our Newton Clinic. I was the Director of Psychotherapy for the First Episode Psychosis Program at Transformations working out of our Framingham clinic. I have a PhD in psychology and counseling and a Post-Graduate Study in Psychology and Neuroscience at Harvard University, Clinical Neuroscience and Psychiatry Research at the University of Oxford, as well as a Post-Graduate Certificate in the History of Medicine, also from Oxford. I also have training in Mentalization-Based Treatment from the Anna Freud Centre in London.
As a clinician, I have interests in the treatment of psychosis, Bipolar Mood Disorder, somatics, and interventional psychiatry (TMS, Ketamine, psychedelics) In addition, I also work with patients experiencing a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, life stress. I also enjoy working with diverse populations including LGBT and transgender patients as well as patients with medical or complex cases. In my work, I meet my patients where they are at in life and discuss with them how I can help them move forward and life their best life. I collaborate with them on the goals they want to set for themselves. I use psychoanalytic approaches to treatment including interpersonal psychoanalysis, classical Freudian approaches, as well as some existential therapies. I also utilize Mentalization-Based Treatment. If you have any questions, I would be more than happy to discuss them with you!
