About

Accepting new clients on weekends and evenings. 23 years experience in mental health care and a former member of a Harvard Medical School's teaching hospital's psychiatry department, included as HMS faculty on a course on meditation and psychotherapy, I moved to Hawaii in 2020 and started a private therapy practice. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. I work with individuals to enjoy more connected, meaningful, and happy lives. I am long-term meditator bringing meditation, clarity, and compassion into this space of healing. My background includes training in psychodynamic, mentalization-based, mindfulness-based, CBT, and EMDR therapies. Additionally, I am a MAPS trainee psychotherapist. My style is active, collaborative, warm and respectful. I bring practicality, compassion, and creativity to my work with clients, helping you to develop greater skill in coping with stress.
