This process of being and becoming that we engage with as humans can simultaneously be both beautiful and incredibly challenging. The decision to take part in therapy can begin a transformative process that allows you to develop greater insight as well as ignite necessary behavioral changes. This can help promote greater well-being, vitality, healing, growth, resiliency, and self-actualization. There is perhaps no greater gift to give yourself than to invest in a process of self-exploration. Suc...

My passion for this work comes from seeing my clients evolve to feel happier and healthier in their daily lives. What ...

“THE BEST YEARS OF YOUR LIFE!” Uh, no. Sure, some of it is great. It’s nice to come and go as you please, make your own choices about what you do and who you see. But if this is “the best years of your life”, you are not feeling so thrilled about the future. You wonder if you are behind everyone else in sorting out how to be successful now, have a life and figure out how to create a future that lets you live the way you want to live. Your families don’t know what it’s like to be a co...

How many times have you heard, “These are the best years of your life”? And who says this? [Hint: adults who went to college many years ago.] But if you ask a college student, there’s a good chance they will talk more about anxiety or depression than enjoying the best years of their life. According to the American College Health Association’s 2018 study, 63 percent of college students said they had “felt overwhelming anxiety” and more than 41 percent said they had felt so depressed that it wa...

I have a PhD in Counseling Psychology from Boston College and prior to working in private practice, I worked almost exclusively in university counseling centers for several years. The centerpiece of my work is building a therapeutic relationship in which you can explore and better understand yourself without fear of judgment, essentially "rewiring" your brain so that confidence and self-acceptance come to feel more like second nature to you. In the meantime, we can also build skills to bette...
