I believe that psychotherapy helps people face what is difficult in their lives. Beyond providing relief and support, successful therapy leads to greater spontaneity and personal flexibility, to an increased sense of agency and purpose, and to more satisfying personal relationships. I see clients of all ages with complex personal histories who often present with anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. Together we form a working partnership in support of greater self knowledge and growth.

In private practice since 1991 and at Tapestry since 1997, I have also worked at the Ohio State University and Emerson College in student life and at Harvard University teaching undergraduate psychology courses in adolescent development and human sexuality. My clinical experience includes working as a senior clinician and supervisor at the Cambridge Guidance Center with children, adolescents and families, many from Portuguese speaking immigrant communities. Additionally I have worked with veterans at the Boston Outpatient VA clinic, and as a consultant to after school programs in Charlestown, Massachusetts.
