I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults (ages 8-24) who struggle with intense emotions, maintaining healthy relationships, or who are engaging in impulsive/self-destructive behaviors. Many of my patients seek help to reduce:

• Fights/Arguments with friends, family, and loved ones

• Self-harm/Suicidality

• Poor Academic Performance

• Sleep-wake difficulties

• School Avoidance

• Substance use

The most common diagnoses I treat are:

• Anxiety Disorders

• Mood Disorders (e.g., depression, bipolar disorder)

• ADHD

• Borderline Personality Disorder

• Insomnia

The length of treatment is different for every person.

Treatment length depends on many factors, including an individual’s treatment goals and the kinds of help they are looking for in therapy. For some, therapy may be as brief as 8-12 sessions. For others, therapy may last a year or longer.

During our first few sessions we will work collaboratively to identify your treatment goals and devise a treatment strategy for how we plan to achieve them. We will identify ways to measure our progress towards these goals and routinely check-in about our progress together. This process is called treatment progress monitoring and is an important way for me to ensure we achieve your goals as quickly and efficiently as possible.

I provide in-person services in Belmont. I also provide services via telehealth

Research shows teletherapy (e.g., webcam, phone) is similarly effective as traditional, in-person therapy. Telehealth services are provided through a secure videoconferencing platform via the patient portal.
